Mexican food is a diverse array of culinary offerings, and authentic cuisine ranges from complex medleys of spices and flavors to simple combinations of a few essential ingredients. Both ends of the spectrum are authentically Mexican, so there are no barriers to enjoying this delicious cuisine. In fact, some of the simplest dishes are universally beloved, such as the humble quesadilla. At El Tapatio, we have many tasty choices on our menu, but we’d like to take a moment to appreciate quesadillas in honor of National Quesadilla Day on September 25th.
You can never go wrong with a quesadilla. Here’s why this simple dish remains a Mexican food favorite.
Simple and Versatile
Quesadillas are simple and straightforward. All you need is a tortilla and some cheese. But if you want some more flavors and textures in the mix, it’s easy to add them. It’s common to add grilled vegetables or various proteins, such as chicken, shrimp, or chorizo. Additionally, you can dip your quesadillas in salsa or sour cream to make them even more flavorful and delicious. On our menu, we offer ten different options to appeal to every palate.
A Snack or a Full Meal
Another thing we love about quesadillas is that they are the perfect go-to whenever you need something easy to make. Whether you want a quick snack or an easy dinner, quesadillas are the ideal choice. Keep it basic with just cheese and salsa when you want a snack that will fuel you for the rest of the day. When you need to feed your whole family but you’re short on time, it’s easy to make quesadillas for everyone. Making quesadillas is also a great way to use up your leftovers!
Universal Appeal
Because quesadillas are so versatile, pretty much everyone likes them. You’ll find a basic cheese quesadilla on kids’ menus, even in non-Mexican restaurants. For those of us with refined palates, there’s no shortage of fillings to choose from. Load it with chicken, sausage, steak, and other meats, or keep it vegetarian with your favorite veggies and salsa.
