Feta Quesadillas

Hey Jude's Note:

These yummy quesadillas are an interesting blend of Greek and Mexican flavors. They're quick and easy and make a nice appetizer for a BBQ party. Adapted from a Better Homes magazine. You could use 1/2 tsp. dried oregano in place of the fresh but I don't recommend it.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 85.04 g package cream cheese, softened
• 236.59 ml shredded monterey jack cheese
• 78.07 ml crumbled feta cheese
• 9.85 ml chopped fresh oregano
• 4 6-inch flour tortillas
• 78.07 ml chopped ripe olives
• 29.58 ml diced pimentos (I used jarred roasted red pepper)
• 29.58 ml thinly sliced green onions

Directions:

1. Stir together the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, feta cheese and oregano.
2. Spread 1/4 of the filling onto one half of each tortilla; top with olives, pimiento and green onion; fold plain side over filling; press gently to seal edges.
3. Grill filled tortillas on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or till golden brown and heated through.
4. Cut each quesadilla into three wedges and serve warm.

Ok I made some changes to this to make it low-cal. I've been dieting and have been craving some variety. WOW! It was sensational. I used fat free cream cheese, used 3 laughing cow wedges to replace the montery jack, and used no calorie Pam Olive Oil spray. Instead of folding it in half - I topped it with a 2nd tortilla and cut them in 4. I made this into two meals of 236 calories each! Thanks!!!

I made these for a quick dinner tonight and halved the recipe. I enjoyed the differentn flavors. I pan fried the tortillas in olive oil with a little butter. The filling was good warm. Thanks for a nice quick dinner!
