Mediterranean Quesadillas
This Recipe Might Sound Like A Culinary Conflict, But I Promise You, The Two Types Of Cuisine Pair Perfectly. If You Don’t Like Olives, Keep This In Mind: There Are Only A Few Kalamata Olives In The Whole Recipe, And They’re Chopped Up Very Finely. Plus, They Add That Ideal Hint Of Brininess To Round Out The Salty Feta Cheese. Try Them At Least Once!
