Quesadillas are a traditional Mexican dish that is loved by people all over the world. They are made by filling a tortilla with cheese, meat, beans, or vegetables, and cooking it until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crispy.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 220 C. Place the green chilies under the broiler for about 5 minutes to char the skin, rotating occasionally. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
