  • Place tortillas on a cutting board. Sprinkle each tortilla with 1/4 cup cheese. Spread about 1 cup chicken mixture across the bottom half of each tortilla and fold the top half over the chicken.

  • Coat the clean skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add the quesadillas and cook until the tortillas are browned and the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side. Cut into wedges to serve.
