Quesadillas have been around since the days of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century. Back then, quesadillas were stuffed with pumpkin and squash, and then baked in clay ovens. The Aztecs must have played an important role in the spread of quesadillas because today, this kind of food can be found in the appetizer section of restaurant menus throughout North America. There is even a National Quesadilla Day, which is held yearly on September 25.
墨西哥酥饼在十六世纪的阿兹特克帝国时期就出现了。那时，墨西哥酥饼是包南瓜和美洲南瓜，然后放入烤窑中烘焙的。对于墨西哥酥饼的传播，阿兹特克人一定扮演了重要的角色，因为如今在全北美餐厅的开胃菜菜单上都能发现这种食物。甚至有一天被定为全国墨西哥酥饼日，就选在每年的九月二十五日。
