Ingredients

1 cup	Healthy Harvest^® Pasta Sauce, Tomato and Basil, divided
2 cups (500 mL)	chopped cooked chicken
1 cup (250 mL)	chopped baby spinach
1	red pepper, chopped
1/2	small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup	sliced green olives (optional)
2 cups	shredded part skim mozzarella or provolone cheese
4	large flour tortillas
	Sour cream

Instructions

Toss the chicken with the spinach, red pepper, red onion, olives (if using) and 1/2 cup (125 mL) pasta sauce. Sprinkle half the cheese on one side of each tortilla. Divide the chicken mixture evenly over the cheese and top with remaining cheese. Fold over the tortilla to enclose the filling.

Set a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat with cooking spray. Place 2 quesadillas in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until lightly toasted and cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve with remaining tomato sauce and sour cream for dipping.

Tip: Add hot pepper rings to the quesadillas for a spicy kick.
