    Turn off heat. Place flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese onto one half of each tortilla. Top with chicken filling, then sprinkle with mexican cheese blend ; fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas. Coat a baking sheet (two sheets for 8 servings) with cooking spray . Carefully transfer quesadillas to prepared sheet. Place a second baking sheet on top (use a second sheet for leftover or make in batches). TIP: Don’t skip this step — adding the weight helps get evenly golden quesadillas.
