Assemble the Quesadilla
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla. Add a portion of the chicken and vegetable mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

Cook the Quesadilla
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining tortillas.
