Facts About Foods: Foods are all from Mexico. Quesadillas were popular as well back in the day, but they were filled with pumpkin, mushrooms, and spices. It wasn’t until 1521 when Spanish settlers brought sheep, lambs, and cows with them to colonial Mexico that cheese was added and the term quesadilla was created.The quesadilla is an essential recipe and meal in the Mexican culture.
