over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is wilted and
translucent, about 5 minutes. Heat a skillet over high heat. Soften
tortillas by grilling for 30 seconds on each side. Mix the onion, red
pepper strips, cheeses, garlic, marjoram, oregano, salt and pepper. Divide

cheese is melted. Cut into quarters, and serve. Makes 16 wedges. NOTE: This

plastic wrap and covered.
