Heat in a skillet over medium low heat. Add red onion, green onions and garlic. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes.
Add cumin and oregano. Cook uncovered, 1 minute, remove from heat. Stir in lime juice. Heat oven to 400.
Place 2 tortillas side by side on an un-greased baking sheet. Divide onion mixture between tortillas. Spread evenly over surface. Sprinkle each with jack cheese and cheddar cheese. Top each remaining tortilla.

Cut each quesadilla into 6 wedges. Garnish with salsa and sour cream if you wish, serve immediately.
