History of the Vegetarian Quesadilla
Quesadillas have been a popular dish in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries for centuries. Traditionally made with cheese and folded in half, these delicious treats have evolved to include a variety of fillings. With the rise of vegetarianism and veganism, vegetarian quesadillas have become a popular alternative to their meat-filled counterparts. This recipe takes inspiration from the traditional quesadilla but adds a unique twist with the use of Armenian cracker bread.
