What is the easiest way to go from one to the following? 
{"-qO-", "te,st\""}
"-qO-" "te,st\""
the second one should be a string

Technically the escaped value would then be double escaped

Like this? `StringJoin[(("\"" ~~ # ~~ "\"" &) /@ #)~Riffle~" "] &@{"-qO-",
"te,st\""}`

Map[StringReplace[#, "\"" :> "\\\""] &, {"-qO-", "te,st\""}]

StringRiffle[StringTemplate["\"``\""] /@ {"-qO-", "te,st\""}]
