Bruschetta is Italian and Quesadilla is Mexican, but what is food if not a marriage between countries and cultures. And these two cuisines meld seamlessly together for this meal, with the Italian flavors of basil, garlic, and tomatoes, and the Mexican form of cheesy tortillas, folded into half moons and fried to perfection. Fusion? Fantastic.
