Quesadilla is the national dish of Mexico. It is a bit like a burrito. In other words, these are such stuffed cakes. But if cheese is not required for a burrito, then it is necessary in a quesadilla recipe. The filling in this dish is placed between the tortillas and fried in a pan or grill. Another integral part of quesadilla is some kind of sauce, most often "Salsa" is used.
