V&V Supremo® Invites America to Celebrate National Quesadilla Day with Recipes, Savings, and Authentic Flavor

V&V Supremo^® created National Quesadilla Day in 2020 to spotlight the versatility, universal appeal, and growing popularity of quesadillas, which continues to be on the rise. From street stalls in Mexico to kitchens across America, quesadillas remain a simple, satisfying dish—just a tortilla, cheese, and a hot griddle. The word quesadilla literally means “little cheesy thing.”

Quesadillas Are on the Rise

Among children and teens, quesadillas account for 19% of all Mexican food consumption—nearly matching tacos and outperforming most other categories, according to Food Surveys Research Group Dietary Data Brief.
YouGov polling ranks quesadillas as the 3rd most popular Mexican dish and the 8th most popular dish overall in the U.S.
Datassential reports that quesadillas are found on 21.1% of menus in the U.S, and breakfast quesadillas have surged onto 1.3% of U.S. menus—a 24% jump in just four years.
Kantar data shows quesadillas account for 20% of appetizers eaten at home and appear in 26% of home-cooked dinners.
Social media chatter around cheese quesadillas has risen nearly 3% year-over-year, according to Tastewise.
