Ingredients:

• 1 can (12.5 oz.) chicken meat
• 1 can (4 oz.) green chilies
• 6 (7-inch) tortillas
• 1½ c. shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (2.25 oz.) black olives, sliced
  

Directions:

1. In a large bowl mix the chicken, green chilies, cheese and olives.

2. Lightly spray two medium/large frying pans with cooking spray. Over medium heat lay two tortillas in each pan (so that each will fold over into a half-moon shape).

3. Add about 1/2 cup chicken mixture to each quesadilla. Cook until starting to brown (~ 5-minutes) then turn over to finish cooking.

4. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Serve immediately with optional condiments if desired.
