Ode to the Quesadilla

Quesadilla, oh tortilla

warm totilla home of melted cheese and happy fillah!

How the cheese stretches out into infinity as you halve the quesadilla,

How it generously fills your mouth

(your already watering mouth)

How the flavourful and warm tortilla hugs your tastebuds

And sparks a happy memory of waiting in line for the freshly made tortillas

(that warm happy roll with only salt for filling that the happy child eats in line, a happy gift from the happy staff at the tortilleria)

Well, that's when we talk about the corn tortillas for the quesadillas,

But flour tortillas are equally as valid - and yummy - I have to say.

As for the cheese, the meltier the better, but fresh cheese is often welcome!

Extras like tomato, avocado, or refried beans are welcome too,

As well as mixing shredded cheese with shredded carrot

before you put them in the grill,

And many people would say that any fillers from Mexico City

are their favourite variation,

And I honestly can't say that anyone is in the wrong here, to be fair!

Oh, but quesadilla, made with corn tortilla,

and a splash of lime juice or tomato filler,

My tummy remembers you and thanks you for the satiated munch,

My tastebuds even more,

and my memory core promises my body I'll eat you again,

sometime, somewhere,

and in the meantime I shall keep eating flour quesadillas

as and when the fancy takes me and I find good wraps

and any other fillings that I want...

And golly, the thought got away from me,

like the strings of melted cheese when you bite the quesadilla,

and you feel the yumminess in your already watered mouth...

Oh quesadilla, yummy quesadilla,

everyone should be able to eat'ya...!
