Serving suggestion:
Serve this mexican dish in a very nice pottery dishware.  This quesadillas are great for outdoor dinner.  Also, this is considered a complete nutrient dish for containing proteins, carbohidrates, and vitamins and minerals in the vegetables.  The corn tortilla dough is  a high calcium source; the calcium is added for a correct corn digestion.  In Mexico, this dough is called "Nixtamal".
