To make these quesadillas, I started by dumping some shredded rotisserie chicken into a large mixing bowl.

Then I added some mayo to the bowl with shredded chicken.

I also added some mild taco seasoning.

I stirred well until all of the chicken was coated in mayo and taco seasoning.

Then I added some diced green peppers and diced red peppers to the bowl.

I stirred well again.

I added some shredded Mexican cheese blend to the bowl.

I used a fork to combine the cheese with the chicken mixture.

Then I lay eight 8″ tortillas on the counter.

I spread the chicken mixture on one half of each of the tortillas.

Then I sprayed a large baking sheet well with butter flavoured cooking spray.

I folded the tortillas in half over the chicken mixture and placed them on the baking sheet.

Then I sprayed the tops of the tortillas with the butter flavoured cooking spray.

I placed the baking sheet in the oven and baked the quesadillas until the tortillas were golden brown on the bottom.

Then I removed the baking sheet from the oven.

I flipped the quesadillas over.

Then I returned the baking sheet to the oven and continued baking the quesadillas until the other side was golden brown as well.

I removed the quesadillas from the oven when both sides were golden brown.

Then I cut them all in half.

I served the quesadillas with salsa and ranch dressing.
