Zen and the Art of Quesadillas
I have a serious quandary whenever I go to Baja Fresh. I like the Steak Quesadilla and the Chicken Quesadilla equally. I would like to have both. But two quesdillas would be way too much food. My simple solution is to have them make one Quesadilla with one half chicken and one half steak. But here's the rub:
If I just ask for that, they mix them together. Then I can't distinguish between the two flavors. It becomes steak and chicken as one, or sticken. Not good. However, if I stand in line and wait long enough I'll see El Jefe- the manager. I can tell he's the manager because he's wearing a tie. Even if the tie has little chile peppers on it, he's El Jefe.
If I time it perfectly, I'll get up to the front of the line and El Jefe takes my order for half and half and all is well. If not, I get the regular employee who looks at me as if I'm asking for a Martian Quesadilla. And then the folks behind me in line are wondering whether I am ready to order yet. I am, but only from El Jefe. That's Zen and the Art of Quesadillas. Comprendes?

I think you should order both, 2 quesadillas, and then save half of each for later.
