A quesadilla is one of the most popular dishes in any Mexican cuisine and has its origins from colonial Mexico.
A quesadilla is normally a flour or corn tortilla, which is filled with refried beans, vegetables and cheese. It is then lightly grilled on a pan, and served with a cheese dip or guacamole.
The quesadillas can be served in either of the 2 ways:
put your chipotle paste on one tortilla, fill half a side with refried beans, vegetables and cheese, and fold it into half, so as to resemble a half moon.
the other way to make a quesadilla is to spread two tortilla with chipotle paste, add the refried beans, vegetables and cheese on one, and stack the second tortilla on top of the first.
Either way you make the quesadillas, the ultimate taste is going to be amazing.
To have it for breakfast, scramble an egg and add it on top of the vegetables in your quesadilla.
