A classic twist on the traditional cheese quesadillas. Chicken quesadillas are very popular in Mexico City and the surrounding areas, and are a typical Mexican snack.

In addition to chicken quesadillas, I'll also share recipes for other popular varieties (beef, picadillo, mushrooms, huitlacoche, squash blossom, tripe...).

Make a sandwich with the mixture between two tortillas at a time. Add enough filling so there's about 3/4 inch (2 cm) between the filling and the edge of the tortilla.

Heat each quesadilla in the skillet, and when the bottom is lightly golden, flip it over. Serve with salsa and sour cream for dipping. Enjoy!

España y México

No soy Eva Longoria, pero aqui estoy. Estoy casada, he vivido en España, Chile y otros países de América Latina debido al trabajo de mi marido (en una gran cadena hotelera). Ahora estoy nuevamente en España tras dos años en Puebla con mi madre, y un año en Mexico DF. Estudié Derecho en la UNAM, pero no lo terminé..Terminé los estudios de turismo España, pero no trabajo. Llevo varios meses en Mis recetas y me ha encantado. Modestamente me gustaría que entre todos los mexicanos promoviéramos un mejor conocimiento de la cocina mexicana en el mundo, especialmente en Europa.
