Having lived in Texas for few years, I have always felt the cultural resemblances between India and Mexico. Tortillas are the Mexican form of Indian rotis, which is the main ingredient in this recipe. Quesadilla is a Mexican toasted cheesy savory sandwich. This is one of my kid's favs and with a variety of stuffing options, this is sought-after lunch as well.
