Steak, Feta, and Olive Quesadillas

May 16, 2019 by McLaughlin Farm

This is a Mediterranean style quesadilla with a steak, feta, and olive filling and a dollop of cool Greek yogurt on top. Instead of layering the ingredients this quesadilla is made with one filling of steak and vegetables to save time. To prevent them from falling apart, don’t overstuff the tortillas. This recipe is also great for entertaining: Serve the wedges on a platter with a side of yogurt and a “salsa” of chopped cucumber, tomato, red onion, and parsley. 

Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 4 wedges and 1 tbsp. yogurt)
