1. Mexican Coleslaw

Mexican coleslaw is the ideal side to quesadillas for its vibrant flavours and refreshing crunch.

The combination of crisp cabbage, tangy dressing, and bold Mexican spices complements the rich and cheesy quesadillas perfectly. Its versatility allows for customisation, whether enjoyed as a topping or a side dish.

2. Mexican Rice

This authentic Mexican rice recipe is a classic and it just had to be on our list of what to serve with quesadillas. It’s a great one to add to a lot of Mexican recipes, has a wonderful flavour and just adds some more pizzazz to your quesadillas!

The Mexican rice is filled with carrots, peas, coriander and a cheeky teaspoon of our Chipotle Paste. This blends in the smoky flavour of chipotle chillies and caramelised onion. For more info on what real Mexican food check out our blog What Is Authentic Mexican Food?

3. Mexican Corn

This is the most delicious street corn (esquites) recipe right now! A truly authentic Mexican street food dish, that goes well as one of the options to serve with quesadillas. The secret to this Mexican corn recipe is a dollop of our Chipotle Mayo. It brings it to a whole new level and adds that irresistible dimension of smoky flavour. If corn is your thing, be sure to try our Baked Mexican Elotes recipe which has similar flavours, except that it’s on the cob.

4. Enchilada Soup

Enchilada Soup pairs perfectly with quesadillas for its bold flavours that complement the rich and cheesy nature of the dish. The warm and comforting soup adds depth to the meal and provides a delightful contrast in textures. This combination offers variety and creates a satisfying dining experience.

5. Chipotle Crema

We love the pairing of some toasty Quesadillas with Chipotle Crema. This creamy and flavourful sauce is made with chipotle peppers, sour cream, and mayonnaise. It has a smoky, slightly spicy flavour that pairs perfectly with the richness of quesadillas. The crema also adds a bit of moisture to the quesadillas, making them more enjoyable to eat.

There’s nothing that’s not made better with a side of our black beans and rice!

A side dish that’s super easy with the addition of our slowly simmered Cantina Beans and delicious with the smoky flavour from Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix.

7. Mexican Black Beans

Mexican black beans are a classic to serve with any quesadillas. Our lovely Cantina Beans (authentic black beans with their juices) are waiting for you to warm up and have alongside your quesadillas, or just have them on the side. If it’s the latter, you can garnish them with some finely chopped onion, tomatoes, chillies, coriander, some scoops of avocado and dollops of creme fraiche! Delicious!

8. Pico De Gallo

Serve our pico de gallo recipe along with your quesadillas. It’s one of the easiest and freshest salsas there is and you can serve it with or on just about anything. We have combined fresh tomatoes, raw onion, chilli, lime juice, coriander and our Smoky Chipotle Fajita and Taco Mix to make this very simple dish. The more chilli you add, the spicier it is!

9. Street Corn Nachos

Street corn nachos are the perfect accompaniment to quesadillas for their delicious combination of flavours, including creamy corn, tangy cheese, and vibrant toppings. The contrasting textures of crispy chips and creamy corn enhance the dining experience. Their visually appealing presentation and communal sharing make them an excellent choice to serve alongside quesadillas.

10. Guacamole

First on our list of what to serve with quesadillas is Guacamole! It has to be a favourite pairing with quesadillas (or anything!). Our homemade guacamole recipe is made extra special with a dollop or two of our Tomatillo Salsa. Make double as it’s surely not going to last! Also, don’t forget to get some Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips to go along with this, and your quesadillas.
