A quesadilla is a Mexican dish made by folding a tortilla around melted cheese. It is usually cooked on a griddle until the outside is warm and lightly crisp. It may also contain vegetables, beans, or meat or be topped with cheese and salad.

Quesadillas originated in Mexico. They are often made with corn tortillas, especially in central Mexico, while flour tortillas are common in northern Mexico.

Quinoa is not a grass, but is grown as a cereal crop. It is more closely related to beets than wheat, and is a very good source of protein and nutrients. Quinoa seeds are usually eaten whole, cooked. The seeds have a bitter coating which needs to be removed before cooking.
