  6. Spread half of the chicken and vegetable mixture over the cheese.
  7. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and filling.
  9. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  10. Place one quesadilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
