As long as tortillas con queso exist everything will be fine. I'm pretty sure they're called quesadillas but in so much cultural diffusion they can mean many things to many people. Melted cheese wrapped in a tortilla. As the cheese would be the meat, so to speak, the flavor of the quesadilla is all about the tortilla. It can be soft and thin, or thick and fluffy.
