Quesadillas

Aztec people often stuffed tortillas with squash and pumpkin and baked them in clay ovens as a sweet dessert. In 1521, Spanish settlers brought sheep, lambs, and cows with them to New Spain, thus introducing indigenous people to cheese and other dairy products. The indigenous people continued stuffing their tortillas with pumpkin and squash, but also added cheese to the mix. 

Now usually quesadillas are made with flour tortilla, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo. chicken, beef, or pork.

Enchiladas

Enchiladas originated in Mexico, where the practice of rolling tortillas around other food dates back at least to Aztec times. The people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate corn tortillas folded or rolled around small fish. Writing at the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Diaz del Castillo documented a feast enjoyed by Europeans hosted by Hernán Cortés in Coyoacán, which included foods served in corn tortillas. 

Ceviche

Ceviche actually has South American origins. Ceviche, or seviche, or cebiche is from South America and eventually spread into Mexico and Central America. There is some debate on whether it originally came from Peru or Ecuador. 

 Our Mexican version of ceviche is made with fish, avocado, tomato, chips, and shrimp.
