Feta Quesadillas: A Unique Blend of Greek and Mexican Flavors
Description
These delectable Feta Quesadillas marry the vibrant tastes of Greek and Mexican cuisines, making them a delightful appetizer perfect for summer BBQs or camping adventures. Quick to prepare and bursting with flavor, they will surely impress your guests. For an extra zing, I suggest using fresh oregano instead of dried; however, if necessary, dried oregano can serve as a substitute, though the flavor won’t be quite as bright.

| 1/3 | Feta cheese |
| 2 | Fresh oregano |

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, feta cheese, and freshly chopped oregano until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- On each tortilla, spread about 1/4 of the cheesy filling onto one half; top generously with the sliced olives, diced pimentos, and chopped green onions. Fold the plain side of the tortilla over the filling and press gently to seal the edges.
- Preheat your grill to medium heat. Grill the filled tortillas directly on the rack for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the quesadillas from the grill and cut each one into three wedges. Serve them warm and enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors!
These Feta Quesadillas will not only satisfy your taste buds but also elevate any gathering, making them a must-try for your next meal or event. Enjoy!
