No doubt, simplicity is part of the beauty of quesadillas. But what about those times when you crave something a little more elaborate?

Add Salsa

Here’s the thing about salsa and Mexican food: you can never go wrong.

Whether it’s huevos rancheros, tacos, or tortas, salsa never fails to add a new dimension of freshness and spiciness to your food.

Quesadillas are no exception to this rule, so when you are looking to add some interest to your “quecas” (Mexican slang for quesadillas), a nice spoonful of salsa may be the answer.

Add Guacamole

We know, we know: guacamole is technically a salsa.

But let’s not fool ourselves: guac is its own thing. If you are used to consuming guac only as a party or Super Bowl dip, then you are in for a treat: Guacamole can uplift practically any dish, including quesadillas.

Add a scoop of guacamole to your quesadilla and you’ll be amazed by the combination of fresh avocado and warm melted cheese, as well as the interplay of textures between the roughness of tortilla and the softness of guac. Mouthwatering!

Add Your Choice of Meat

If what you want is to sink your teeth into something a little more substantial, then meat is the answer.

Mexican cuisine offers a wide variety of options if you are in the mood for meat. For example, at El Pollo Norteño, you can add your choice of meat to your quesadilla for a small additional charge. Your options include chicken, asada, carnitas, and carne al pastor. This Mexican spin on the timeless combination of meat and cheese will keep you coming back for more!

Now, if you want to go all-out, why not combine all three options? A quesadilla with salsa, guacamole, and meat is a transcendent experience reserved for the true lovers of Mexican food.
