Quesillo

I’ve been making quesillo for a lifetime and never new it. I guess being high is universal. Quesillo are simply griddled tortillas with cheese, pickled onions, and sour cream. This tasty snack is a staple street food of Nicaragua; sold in little plastic baggies to keep the onions from falling out.
