What quesadilla is the healthier choice?
Considering Baja Fresh has more grams in the servings there is a significant increase in the nutritional content. However, if you alternate the grams to make it an even match, the Taco Bell quesadilla's caloric intake especially will exceed that of Baja Fresh.
