The Versatility of Quesadillas A basic quesadilla consists of cheese inside a tortilla, which is fried until the cheese melts. You can imagine that inventing quesadilla recipes is very easy. What about adding some bacon to the cheese or some Quesadillas? You might like to use asparagus and tomatoes to make a quesadilla recipe or some crunchy onion to complement the cheese.
You can also consider adding some chicken or meat into the mix but since cheese melts quickly and the quesadillas get cooked fast you will have to cook the meat separately as that they are adequately cooked.
Mouthwatering Mexican Stews and Casseroles Stews are open to adaptation too. If you want to use some beef or chicken and vegetables, you can add pretty much any vegetables you fancy to the casserole dish and bake it. Add some tomatoes and corn for Mexican flavor and maybe some fresh chopped chilies too. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over your stew just before serving it, for a real Mexican touch.
You can add Mexican ingredients to many meals to provide the mexican flavor. Add fresh chilies to a dish to give it a kick or serve salsa with your favorite grilled or pan fried meat or fish.
