Salsa Chicken Quesadillas / Tacos

8 oz. Cooked chicken
1/4 - 1/2 c. salsa
2 oz. shredded cheese
2 whole wheat flour tortillas (8" or 10")

Preheat broiler.

Shred chicken into pieces and put into a microwave-safe bowl. Pour salsa over chicken, cover & microwave until hot. Stir to coat chicken, adding more salsa if needed.

Spray tortillas with non-stick spray. Put spray-side down on cookie sheet & spread 1oz of cheese on each. Put under broiler to melt cheese. Spread half of salsa chicken mixture on each tortilla & fold over. Put back under broiler to crisp tortilla. (ONLY 1-2 minutes - Watch carefully, it goes quick.) Flip over & crisp other side. Let cool for a minute then cut into 2-3 wedges. Serve with a salad.
