About:

Quesadillas or tacos? Quesadillas as I toasted it from outside and tacos because of its filling without cheese…Quesadillas, literally queso tortillas in Spanish, originated in Mexico, along with so many other tasty things. Although in this recipe Quesadillas are stuffed with beans and dipped in salsa, they don’t always feature traditional Mexican flavors. I haven’t used any cheese here as potato itself  has enough starch so tried to avoid it. Feel free to include cheese if desired.
