The nutritional profile reveals where the bulk of the calories come from. More than half of the quesadilla's energy density stems from the creamy jalapeño sauce and dairy fat in the three-cheese blend. For those monitoring sodium, a single quesadilla accounts for roughly 59% of the daily recommended limit of 2,300 milligrams.
