Feta quesadillas are made by stuffing tortillas with a mixture of feta cheese, cream cheese, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, topped with chopped ripe olives, diced pimentos (roasted red pepper) and thinly sliced green onions. These quesadillas are easy to prepare and take minutes to cook. They are perfect for lunch or dinner, served with fresh salsa or guacamole on the side.
