  3. Add chicken, spices, and green onions, cooking for a few minutes until the chicken is coated in spices.
  4. Stir in salsa until combined, then transfer the mixture to a bowl. Wipe the pan clean.
  5. On medium heat, spray the cleaned pan again with low calorie spray and place a tortilla in it.
  6. Layer half the cheese, all the chicken mixture evenly spread out, then the remaining cheese. Top with another tortilla and spray its surface, press it down firmly with a spatula
  7. Once the bottom is crisp and golden, use a large plate to flip the quesadilla carefully, then cook until the other side is golden.
