Today, September 25, 2026, is National Quesadilla Day, a day to celebrate this cheesy delight and learn about its history. Quesadillas, made of a folded tortilla and melted cheese, have a long history dating back to Mesoamerican times around 10,000 BC. They were a staple food in the diets of the Aztecs and Mayans. When the Spanish conquered Mexico City in the 1500s, they were introduced to the corn-based "tlaxcalli" and renamed it to tortillas, which resembled the egg dish popular in Spain.
The Spanish also introduced dairy to quesadillas. Over time, quesadillas spread throughout Mexico, with each region adding its own unique twist. Today, quesadillas can have various fillings such as chicken, steak, salsa, or anything else that satisfies one's taste buds. Chipotle Mexican Grill is celebrating National Quesadilla Day for two days, offering a free quesadilla with a $20 digital purchase using promo code NQD2026.
Del Taco is running a BOGO deal on cheddar quesadillas from September 25 to 27, while Dillas Quesadillas members can purchase a $5 Double Dilla featuring double chicken, double cheese, and topped with a queso drizzle. Moe’s Southwest Grill offers a quesadilla BOGO through the Moe Rewards app or online.
