What Is A Veg Quesadilla?

Veg Quesadilla is a Mexican dish that contains cooked vegetables and sauces. Sometimes, this is made in a non-vegetarian version as well that contains meat.

Ideally speaking, a veg quesadilla is similar to the Mexican version of India’s sabzi-roti. However, instead of rolling in a chapati, present with folding the chapatis in half.

This type of quesadilla that we fold in half is known as a half quesadilla. If we use two chapatis and fill them in a sandwich or burger manner, which means placing the filling in between, it will be a whole quesadilla.

Typically, in Mexico, tortillas are typical to use. Tortillas are thin flatbread of wheat flour or of corn flour which in India is commonly known as Roti.

There are no definite ingredients for the filling of the quesadilla. However, black beans are more in use to put in it over there. Sometimes, one can also include meat and chicken in it. One can add avocado and cilantro to give it a pleasantly tangy taste.
