Preheat broiler.
In a medium skillet cook onion and garlic in olive oil and sesame oil over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until onion is tender.
Remove from heat.
Add cream cheese and feta cheese; stir until mixture is nearly smooth.
Stir in olives, sweet peppers, and dillweed. Set aside.
Using a long serrated knife, split pita rounds in half horizontally to form two circles.
Place, cut side up, on a large ungreased baking sheet.
Broil 3 inches from heat for 1 minute or until pita rounds are lightly toasted.
Spread each pita round with about 1/3 cup of the cheese mixture.
Broil about 1 minute more or until hot.
To serve, use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to cut each round into 6 wedges.
