Someone please tell the cultural ignoramus that it's a tortilla, not a
taco.
A taco is just a tortilla folded over and held in your hand.
A quesadilla is just a tortilla folded over and fried.
Actually, a tortilla has to be folded over and have some sort of filling
to be called a taco.
Further, there are several completely different kinds of tortilla, not
just the ones from Mexico with which you are familiar.
And, further, while a quesadilla can be fried, there are varieties that
are not.
Perhaps you should expand your knowledge of that sort of food beyond
what is served at a Gaithersburg Taco Bell. And no, I am not knocking
Taco Bell. A trip to different parts of Mexico, Central and South
America would open your eyes, as would a visit to Spain.
