My friend here thinks that a quesadilla can only be considered a quesadilla if it has chicken in it while on the other hand I think it's still a quesadilla if there is just cheese. Help me prove her wrong. who is right here????????

Well Sweetie! You are absolutely right! Quesadilla is made up of melted cheese between two tortillas. Other stuffings are optional, such as chicken. Can also be made by simply folding one tortilla in half! Cheese is a must, chicken is optional!!!

A quesadilla (IPA [kesa'diÊa], usually anglicized as [keɪsa'dija]) is a dish in Mexican cuisine or Tex-Mex, which involves cooking ingredients, most popularly cheese, inside a corn or wheat tortilla or a wrapping of masa dough. The word comes from Spanish, and literally means "little cheesy thing" (from queso, or "cheese", + ada, an adjectival suffix, + illa, a diminutive suffix). Exactly what constitutes a quesadilla varies from region to region and between the U.S. and Mexico, and is not universally agreed upon by chefs, but there are certain similarities between the different versions that people generally agree upon, namely that the quesadilla is cooked after being filled or stuffed, while a taco or burrito is filled with pre-cooked ingredients. The purist faction may argue that only the folded-masa, empanada-style Mexican version is a "real" quesadilla, but some well known chefs such as Rick Bayless make more liberal interpretations.

Quesadilla's are some of my very favorite foods, since Mexican food IS my favorite type of food... I like it best with steak, cheese, cilantro and red onions and then grilled. It's making me hungry now! A quesadilla can have anything in it to be considered a quesadilla. Check out the website in the "source" from Epicurious, THE chef people! I think that might help your friend to understand better. Happy eating! ;oD

It is still a quesadilla if it is just cheese. Probably moreso. You are correct.
