美食饗宴
When it comes to Mexican food, most people go for tacos, burritos, or maybe a plate of tortilla chips and salsa. But if that’s all you know about Mexican cuisine, you’re missing out. For those in the know, the quesadilla must come to mind.
So what is a quesadilla? It’s a corn tortilla that is filled with cheese and meat such as beef, pork, or chicken. A selection of vegetables, a few herbs, and some sour cream are added as well. With these additions, you’ll get a variety of flavors.
Quesadillas have been around since the days of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. Back then, quesadillas were stuffed with pumpkin and squash, and then baked in clay ovens. The Aztecs must have played an important role in the spread of quesadillas because today, this kind of food can be found in the appetizer section of restaurant menus throughout North America. There is even a National Quesadilla Day, which is held yearly on September 25. If you’ve never tried this Mexican food, there’s no better time to take a bite.
