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.

Baked Mexican Rice
I've tried many variations on baked rice and wanted to try it with Mexican flavors. It's so easy to let the rice bake away while you take care of other things or prep the rest of the meal. Garnish with additional green onions if you like.
