This cheeseburger quesadilla was inspired by one of my favorite burritos from Burrito-Ville, a local joint down by Southeast Missouri State University. Burrito-Ville specializes in some of the oddest burritos I've ever tasted. From the BBQ chicken burrito to the Buffalo burrito, I've had them all — but they've got only one type of quesadilla. So I decided to take one of my favorite burritos from there, the cheeseburger burrito, and apply it to quesadilla form. Served with a side of fries and a Coke, I call this my most recent culinary triumph. Serve with extra ketchup, mustard, and relish.
