- Today we ask the age-old question...
- Will it quesadilla?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good Mythical Morning.
- We're about to try deliciously inventive
quesadilla recipes. - Mm-hmm.
- And today's episode is sponsored by Amazon Fresh
because how can you have deliciously inventive quesadillas
without fresh ingredients?
- You can't!
- And that's one reason why we sent Trevor and Vi,
a couple of our Mythical Kitcheneers,
to the Amazon Fresh North Hollywood grocery store,
to grab the ingredients they needed
to pull off today's episode.
- But that's not the only reason!
Amazon Fresh stores are also super convenient.
With the Amazon Dash Cart,
you can skip the checkout. - Mm-hmm.
- [Link] Just grab what you want,
put it in your cart, and go.
Really. Just go!
- Really!
Amazon Fresh stores have a wide selection
of private brands like Fresh,
365 by Whole Foods Market, Aplenty, and Happy Belly,
plus national brands and locally sourced products.
And Link, did you know they also have a hot and salad bar
as well as ready-to-heat meals?
- Of course!
And you can shop for groceries in-store
or online to pick up in-store.
You can also add things to your grocery list with Alexa.
And Rhett, did you know
that you can return your Amazon.com packages
at any Amazon Fresh grocery store?
- Of course!
- It's pretty nice, huh? You yelling?
- I like to yell! - Yeah.
- I thought I'd try it! It's nice!
- It is!

- Now, in our longstanding history of Will Its,
we've done a multitude of delicious cheese dishes:
grilled cheese, mac and cheese,
cheeseburger, cheesesteak, and cheesecake.
- And it seemed like we had run the ooey-gooey gamut,
but we realized we missed one of the best
cheesy foods out there: the quesadilla.
- We are so sorry, quesadillas.
We promise that we love you just as much
as your cheesy brothers and sisters.
- It's time for...
- [Rhett and Link] Will It Quesadilla?
- Okay, to qualify as a quesadilla,
the dish must have a tortilla.
- A tortilla. - Cheese.
- Cheese. - And be cut into triangles.
- And be cut into triangles.
Yes, we are gonna be sticklers.
Ramen is what we're kicking it off with.
It's the dish that keeps on giving by actually receiving.
You can add so many flavors, toppings,
and ingredients to ramen
and it still ends up tasting really tasty.
- Tasting really tasty? - It tastes really tasty.
So if we apply that principle
to the delicious cheese factor of the quesadilla,
can it be anything less than amazing?
Presenting: the Quesaramen.
- Wow.
I got a case of ramen, and there's only one way to treat it.
- By eatin' it.
Mythical Chef Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] We cut it into triangles, Link.
- Great.
- [Josh] And we also took a ramen noodle tortilla,
we filled that with marinated-
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. A ramen noodle tortilla?
- [Josh] Yeah, you can see the ramen noodles
right there in the tortilla. - I can.
- The texture is amazing.
- So it's a tortilla made completely outta ramen?
Or it just has like a nice ramen sheen?
- [Josh] We did both, we infused it into the dough
and then we pressed fresh ramen noodles into the top.
- Aw, both. - Of course they did.
- [Josh] And filled it with marinated shredded chicken,
mashed up ramen eggs, Happy Belly frozen corn, bean sprouts,
and then we infused the American cheese
with the seasoning packet from the ramen.
- [Link] Oh, I've got a piece of egg
right on the tip of my triangle.
- [Josh] Ooh, that's lucky! You got egg on your triangle?
- Yeah, the eggs! Didn't even think about that.
But it's ramen! - And I see the corns.
And I've got some chicken oysters.
That is what you call the rounded part of the thigh, right?
- [Josh] I'm shocked you knew that. I'm proud of you.
- Well, I got it at a...
What's the Japanese...
- Yakitoria. - Yeah.
I got it at a yakutoria one time.
- I kinda want to stop talking and start eating.
(Link grunts)
Wow.
- [Link] We're mixing two comfort foods.
- Whoa.
- And I am comforted.
- The cheese doesn't clash.
It complements.
I've never thought about just taking cheese
and just dropping it into my ramen.
Josh, you ever done that?
- [Josh] Yeah, it's actually pretty common,
but thank you for thinking that I am unique.
- It's so good.
- There's a part of me that thinks it might be too good.
Like, if you let college students find this,
quesadilla meets ramen,
I think life might become too easy for them.
And they may... (Josh laughs)
If you give 'em- - Stay in college forever?
- If you give college students something this good,
that kinda brings two of their favorite things together,
the rest of their life is only gonna be a disappointment.
And we're gonna just have a whole generation
of dissatisfied, disillusioned people.
Don't let this get out!
Don't let this on any college campus anywhere!
- Stop watching!
But in the meantime, ramen, will it quesadilla?
- [Rhett and Link] Yes!
- When celebrating a birthday,
people tend to add a little something sweet to their day
but rarely think outside the box.
Could a birthday cake quesadilla be
the next big birthday thing? - Uh-huh?
- We're calling this one Happy Birthadilla!
- And look at that! There's fire.
- [Rhett] Make a wish.
- That's how you do it now.
- Yeah, that's how. You gotta clap.
- You do it with the hands now.
- You do it with the hands.
And if you're really old, you just...
You gotta clap a lot.
- I thought you were doing a round-of-applause dad joke.
- Oh, no, but I can do that as well.
- [Both] Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] Well, we took a birthday cake tortilla
with 365 sprinkles,
filled it with a mashed-up birthday cake,
cherry frosting, more sprinkles, cream cheese,
and then a lit birthday candle
that you so ceremoniously clapped out.
- But there is cheese?
That is cheese? - Yes, a creamed variety.
They have the technology to cream the cheese now,
and we used it. - Oh!
- Oh, wow. - Yeah!
- What a loophole.
- I got some of your cream on my-
- For the quesadilla.
- On my quesadilla.
- Now, I can see this at a Mexican restaurant for birthdays.
- I mean, yeah, if you got fried ice cream,
have a birthday quesadilla.
- [Link] But if you had to choose one, is this better?
- Um...
No. (laughs) (Josh laughs)
- What's making it taste bad?
- [Josh] Man, that's up to you.
All the ingredients seem
like they would taste good together.
- I know. It tastes like melted gum inside.
- Okay. - Ugh!
- Here's the issue with it.
I'm not really a fan of birthday cake-flavored
things to begin with,
and so many things have been birthday cake-ified lately-
- Yeah, apparently I'm not either.
- And it's like the birthday cake that they chose
to be the birthday cake flavor that everybody recognizes
is not a flavor of birthday cake that I would ever eat.
I get a chocolate ice cream cake.
That's what I get for my birthday.
- And you know I'm a cookie-cookie-cookie man.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- So I'm not gonna complain that this doesn't work.
Sometimes you push too hard, and you just gotta pull back.
- You cross a line and you gotta be slapped a little bit
and sent back!
- Yeah, that birthday cake flavoring is just...
It has a lot to do with the sprinkles,
and you end up with just putrid gum.
- Putrid gum. All right, birthday cake.
Will it quesadilla?
- [Rhett and Link] No.
- Having cheese of the creamed variety with sushi
is something people have come to love over the years.
I understand that that's a thing.
But it's usually just a tiny bit
of cream cheese inside of the roll.
So will putting sushi into quesadilla form
turn that little bit into a big and cheesy mistake?
Introducing Queso con Seaweed.
- [Rhett] Wow. Good lord.
- I'm actually encouraged off the bat that I don't see...
The tortilla's not made of seaweed.
- [Josh] That's correct.
- This is giving me a fighting chance. What have you done?
- [Josh] So we made a white rice-infused tortilla.
It's both blended in and then also mashed on top.
That's filled with tuna, shrimp, crab, avocado, cucumber,
and wasabi ginger-infused pepper jack.
- Wasabi and ginger-infused pepper jack?
- [Josh] Yeah.
- That's some advanced culinary stuff, man.
- [Josh] Aw, man. Everything we do is so stupid advanced.
- It smells like sushi.
- And look at...
There's like this amazing crispy texture to the outside
with the individual grains of rice that...
Did you fry this rice? I mean, how did...
It looks...
- [Josh] You're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?
You're telling me a shrimp-
- Yes. We're calling you a shrimp, Josh.
- [Josh] No, we griddled it. Yeah, it's griddled.
Joke didn't hit. - Okay.
They don't always do. Trust me, I know.
- I think we have to do a dip-and-dink-and-sink-it.
- Well, but there's also some...
There's wasabi in the cheese though,
so I'm gonna go easy on that first and just-
- [Link] Dip it.
- [Both] Dink it.
Sink it.
- Now, as a man who doesn't typically like sushi
but is trying to find ways to introduce it into your mouth-
- This is absolutely helping.
Especially because the seaweed is not a huge part of this.
- It doesn't need any more wasabi.
- [Josh] The chef notes that, thank you.
- Yeah, it- - I like the wasabi flavor.
- The little dollops will sneak up on you.
But this is legitimately enjoyable.
- I could see this on a menu somewhere.
I could see this at, like,
a cool party in L.A.
You know? We don't get invited to those anymore.
We're only getting invited to lame parties now. Hmm.
- If we brought this though...
"Oh, you see the guys who bring the cream of the cheese?"
- We brought the cream of the cheese! We're here!
- It's the cheese of the cream.
- Yeah, it's just cream cheese.
- Ooh. I'ma go in for another bite, 'cause I love it.
- I think you've really done something here.
- [Link] Mm-hmm.
- This is pure fusion.
This is fusion in its purest form.
- And you thought fusion was over.
Sushi. Will it quesadilla?
- [Rhett and Link] Yes!
- Quesadillas are tasty, but they're also greasy.
They can make you feel a little bogged down after your meal.
But what if you actually felt refreshed
after eating a quesadilla?
Like minty-fresh? - I'm listening.
- Let's see how mint fits into the quesadilla world.
We present: Fresh Breathadilla.
With mint tea on the side.
- Fresh Breathadilla.
It's got a nice, fresh stripe to it.
Josh, what did you do?
- [Josh] Well, we made a nice, fresh stripe minty tortilla
and then it's filled with various forms of mint.
We got Amazon Fresh mint,
dried mint, mints for fresh beth...
Fresh beth? - Oh!
- This beth is totally fesh right now.
- [Josh] Stop trying to make fesh happen.
- Whoa!
- [Josh] Infused minty Happy Belly provolone
and some mint tea for dippin'.
- Is the mint tea necessary?
- [Josh] Yes! It's the way the chef intends.
- I mean, does this mean I might be able to eat a quesadilla
instead of brushing my teeth every morning?
- Potentially.
- I am listening.
- You think Grandma could get one of these
in her purse at church?
It's like, "I'm just handing 'em out to y'all."
- "Instead of them candied mints."
- "I'm doing a little somthin' different today.
I've got quesadillas."
"I got quesadilahs. I got quesadilahs instead of mints."
Little dippy-do.
- Let's baptize it.
- Good god.
- Whoo!
That is (stammers) strong!
- [Josh] You getting the crunch?
- Interestingly, the cheese
is actually really coming through in a way
that makes the mint almost tolerable.
- The mint is coming out of my nose.
I can feel it in every breath.
I...
I can't...
Experience any cheese. - Speak.
You don't experience the cheese?
- You must've got a cheesy bite. Take another bite.
'Cause all I... (sighs)
I mean, I'm waking up.
- You could bring one of these into the end of a meal.
You know, especially if you're on a date.
I mean, once you've been married for 20 years,
there's no consideration of the nature of the meal.
You're just like, "We're gonna both just eat
straight garlic tonight because that's what we want."
- As long as you both do it, you're fine though.
- In the early stages of a relationship,
maybe a first date,
you're really thinking about your meal choices.
You can make any meal choice at all
as long as you follow it up with one of these.
That could be the market. That could be the market.
- My brain is telling my body, "Do not swallow this."
- Like you might be being poisoned.
- Yeah, this is not a good experience.
'Cause I'm feeling cheesy in my mouth,
but then in my whole head, I'm feeling this...
This minty opening.
- I want it to work,
and I think it might in certain circumstances, but-
- I can't swallow it. - Let's be honest.
Mint. Will it quesadilla?
- [Rhett and Link] No.
- If a conflict ever breaks out between Mexico and Russia,
we think this next dish will quell it.
We have: From Russia with Cheese.
- Oh! Whoa-whee!
- Josh, explain this approach and what you did.
- [Josh] Well, we took some of our favorite dishes
from Russia and we tried to smash
as many of those as possible inside a borshtilla.
That, of course is a portmanteau of borsht and tortilla.
- Borshtilla.
- [Josh] Yeah, a beet juice and stock-infused tortilla.
And then inside- - Borsht is beet?
- [Josh] It's a delicious beet soup
flavored with beef bones and vinegar.
It's a lovely time.
Then we have two kinds of caviar in there.
We have homemade tuareg cheese.
And then also some salad Olivieh,
which is potatoes, peas, and carrots.
And then topped, of course, with sour cream, dill,
and some more fish roe.
- Well, is this one gonna leave us Putin later?
(Josh laughs insincerely)
- [Josh] I don't get it.
- I was just waiting to say that.
I didn't hear anything you said.
- Fair. - The peas and the taters,
I'm here for it, but all of those little eggies-
- And look, I'm gonna do- - Ocean eggies.
- Just a nice little dollop of caviar, dill,
and whatever this little...
Creme fraiche?
- [Josh] Yeah, creme fraiche.
- Orange balls, man.
- I'm going straight in for this big Russian bite.
- Well, I'ma get some of it.
(Link groans)
♪ I don't like it when the caviar pops ♪
- That might be the only thing I like about it.
(laughs) About the caviar.
♪ Do you like it when the caviar pops ♪
♪ I don't like it when the caviar pops ♪
- This is Russian music.
(Josh laughs)
- It's actually not that bad.
- No, it's not horrible,
but I can't get my face to un-scrunch
because I'm afraid of the caviar pops.
- [Rhett] The caviar that is hiding inside the innards-
- Okay.
- [Rhett] Is easier to get your mouth around
than the dollop.
You didn't even get the dollop right on top.
- [Josh] Some of the inside caviar exploded from the heat.
- So it's pre-popped? - It's pre-popped.
- So you already made the caviar pop.
- [Josh] I know you don't like it when the caviar pops.
- If we don't like it when the caviar pops
and you made some of that caviar pop,
then you done some of the work for us.
♪ I don't like it when the caviar pops ♪
♪ Do you like it when the caviar pops ♪
- [Josh] Yes, I pre-popped the caviar for you.
(Rhett laughs)
- Okay.
Valiant effort. It's beautiful, I'll say that much.
- Yeah, it is.
- But Russian cuisine, will it quesadilla?
- [Rhett and Link] No.
- Not really.
