Mexican Fried Quesadillas for the Easy, Crispy Taste of Summer

Fried quesadillas are delicioso anytime of year. But during summer, this traditional Mexican snack taste extra perfecto. Biting into a cheesy, crispy quesa topped with thinly shredded lettuce, tomatoes, queso fresco and velvety crema Mexicana reminds us of childhood veranos, poolside snacks, and all the joys of the annual no-school season.
For Vivi Abeja, one of our favorite Mexican cooks, fried quesadillas remind her of her much-loved, much-missed grandmother. Truthfully, most traditional Mexican dishes do. Her Abuelita Elisa was famous for her Mexican recipes in their family, in her church, and throughout the neighborhood of Chicago’s Little Village, nicknamed La Villita for its Mexican heritage. (
“This recipe reminds me of my grandmother on my father’s side. My uncles and dad tell me stories of when she would stand outside of bus stops from way before I was born selling fried quesadillas to make ends meet that month. Everyone talked about how delicious her food was - especially these quesadillas.”
