Ostrich is a lean and healthy red meat that is becoming increasingly popular in the United States. It has a mild flavor that is similar to beef, but it is lower in fat and cholesterol. Ostrich meat is also a good source of protein, iron, and zinc. I first tried ostrich meat at a restaurant in South Africa, and I was immediately hooked. The flavor was so unique and delicious that I knew I had to find a way to recreate it at home. After some experimentation, I came up with this recipe for Zesty Ostrich Quesadillas.
