Directions:

To prepare the quesadillas, preheat the broiler.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and half the cumin; saute 30 seconds. Add salsa, beans, remaining cumin, and cubed chicken; cook 5 minutes or until liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally.

Place tortillas on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup bean mixture and 3 tablespoons cheese; fold in half. Lightly coat tops with cooking spray.

Broil 3 minutes, turning over halfway through, or until cheese melts and tortillas begin to brown. Cut each tortilla into 3 wedges.
