These are delicacies made with nixtamal and stuffed with cheese that transformed the way we eat quesadillas and created by Jesús Abraham padilla , a young man from Coahuila.

Who is Abraham and how did the idea of reinventing the traditional quesadillas come about?

Abraham padilla is originally from Saltillo and grew up in San Antonio de las Alazanas (town of Arteaga, Coahuila ). He is a 28-year-old chef who, for much of his life, has managed to develop and professionalize himself in the gastronomic field. In fact, it was his mother who introduced him to that world.

And it is that, for approximately 14 years, Mrs. Verónica has headed the family business: a small restaurant with Mexican snacks known as Doña Vero –the place is located in the same town of San Antonio–. Here, locals and travelers will find delicacies such as gorditas, tamales, buñuelos, asado dishes and much more.

In this way, Abraham learned all the secrets and cooking recipes that his mother knew. Later, he found his true calling in the culinary world. Therefore, he decided to work in different restaurants in the region in order to expand his knowledge. Thanks to this, he was introduced to international cuisine; however, his specialty continues to be Mexican cuisine .

More than friends, a second family

It should be added that, in the kitchen, Abraham found not only his passion but also true friends. And it is that, in the restaurant that he currently works, this creative chef has found people who have supported him and who have believed in him in such a way that he already considers them as his second family.

In fact, as Abraham told us, it is his friends who spread his work and share it on social networks. Also, dinosaurs were no exception. And although he created these during leisure time - while he was preparing to eat and embodying his passion for dinosaurs in a molote - he never imagined that his creations would go viral.

Thanks to this, and without even planning it, the economy of Abraham's family - severely affected by the pandemic - has managed to recover and, seeing himself overwhelmed by demand, Abraham asked them to reproduce the dinoquesadillas in Doña Vero. Given this, and as always, his family did not hesitate to support him.
