NATIONAL QUESADILLA DAY

Today is National Quesadilla Day, or Dia de la Quesadilla. On this September 25 holiday, we celebrate and enjoy a truly culinary treat. It’s hard to believe today, but quesadillas were largely unknown in many parts of the United States just a hundred (or less) years ago. The ancient Aztecs knew they had a good thing many centuries before Europeans stepped foot in the New World. Aztec tribes in Mexico were the first to make corn tortillas.  It didn’t take them long to begin stuffing cheese and other things in between two of them. Today, almost all of us love this Mexican food staple and consume them often.
