Feta Quesadillas

Submitted by abby orchard

"This is similar to a recipe I found in a Mexican cookbook but I altered it to suit what I had in the cupboard that night! It's less greasy and fattening than all the cheese based ones around so it makes a pretty healthy dinner with some home made salsa, guacamole and shredded lettuce."
