History of the quesadilla
The word "quesadilla" is derived from the Spanish word "queso", meaning "cheese". It literally means "a little cheesy thing".
The tradition of eating tortillas (or tlaxcalli in the Nahuatl language) dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Aztecs and Mayans. These peoples often cooked tortillas made from corn, a grain that is very present in the region and precious in the eyes of Mesoamerican civilizations.
Cheese as we know it in quesadillas arrived at the same time as the introduction of dairy cattle such as cows and sheep, and cheese began to play a more important role in Mexican cuisine. It naturally found its place between two tortillas, giving rise to the modern quesadilla.
Today, quesadilla is not only a staple dish in Mexico, but has also gained international popularity. Its simplicity and versatility make it a favorite in many countries, where it is adapted to suit local tastes and ingredients.
Which cheese for quesadillas?
Quesadillas are traditionally made with cheese, which quickly melts when heated. Cheese choices vary around the world, but the ones most commonly found in Europe are Cheddar, Emmental and Mozzarella.
There are some typical Mexican cheeses that closely resemble the original recipe: El queso Oaxaca, el queso Chihuahua, el queso Asadero and el queso Manchego Mexicano.
Quesadillas at Nachos
At NACHOS, we use cheddar cheese and our Emmental & Mozzarella mix. The result is a more complex flavour and texture for maximum taste and texture! The quesadilla is a symbol of traditional Mexican cuisine, and at NACHOS we're proud to present it in all its authenticity, accompanied by your choice of onion, bell pepper or protein.
