Püf Noktaları

To enhance the flavor of your quesadillas, consider using a mix of cheeses such as Monterey Jack or Queso Fresco along with the Oaxaca cheese. Additionally, ensure your tortillas are fresh and not too thick, as this helps achieve the perfect crispy texture. When cooking the quesadillas, avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain an even cook. If you're looking for other flavor enhancers, a dash of lime juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes can add an exciting kick to the dish.

These quesadillas pair wonderfully with a fresh salsa verde, a side of guacamole, or a simple green salad. For added heat, serve with jalapeños on the side. A chilled Mexican beer or a refreshing horchata can also complement the meal perfectly.
