Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with cooking spray.
- Place two flatbreads or tortillas in the bottom of the pan, overlapping them a little in the middle. The tortillas should cover the entire pan.

- Sprinkle the chicken evenly over the tortillas in the pan.
- Sprinkle the cheddar or Mexican cheese evenly over the chicken.
- Dot the onion mixture over the cheese.
- Sprinkle the Jalapeno Pepper cheese as the next layer.
- Squeeze the juice of the lime over the top.
- Place the two remaining flatbreads or tortillas on top and press down to secure the top tortillas in place.
- Spray the top of the tortillas with cooking spray.
- Cook tortillas on the middle rack of the oven, at 400°F, for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are crisp and cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately with toppings of your choice.
- Enjoy!
- *NOTE: You can also sprinkle a bit of cheese onto the quesadillas once done and broil until crisped as we did for photos.
