When the hell did they start calling quesadilla mexican pizza? Whatever the hell that is it was created by white people in up state new york, not mexicans.

quasadilla is a single tortilla stuffed with whatever, and folded over in half.
Mexican pizza is 2 tortillas stacked on top of each other, not folded, and layered with toppings, sauce, etc.
There is a difference.

I dunno about that. I grew up going to schools that served menudo and had plenty of hispanic friends, they never talked about mexican pizza and i never saw it at their houses. Pretty sure thats a quesadilla someone decided needed more cheese.
Just google "mexican pizza", most of the first page results are tacobell related and the related search terms are all taco bell....

oh ya, it's for sure not something that I think is really authentic. I'm just saying that's the differences in how it's served here in Phoenix. You can't say quasadilla and expect a mexican pizza and vice versa.

Mexican food varies drastically from area to area. Phoenix is a lot different than Albuquerque, which is way different than California, which is much different than Texas. I'm told it's much the same in different areas of Mexico.
When it comes down to it it's all just combinations of meat, cheese, chilis, beans, and possibly rice on or in a tortilla and "authentic" is not a particularly meaningful word.

Huh? I've always had quesadillas that were made with cheese between two tortillas. In fact, the only place I've ever seen a "folded" quesadilla is Taco Bell.

Every high school in America should probably add"Regional food oddities and customs of Arizona"to their curriculum so that no one else will ever have to bear the shame of not knowing how people in Arizona make a tostada.
When you keep repeating the"I don't know how people outside of Arizona are ignorant of our culinary habits here", I have to wonder if you've ever been out of Arizona.

Whoa now. Careful. The Fast Food thread just turned serious business. I was having a great time seeing what everyone calls different Mexican food, and was surprised that everyone had a different idea of what it was.
I just figured, everyone had pretty much the same idea, but clearly I was wrong.
Mexico is a big country with a shitload of regional cuisines that are transferred over, and then adapted/changed when they immigrate.
