Recipe # 31: Bean-Chicken Quesadillas

The cookbook calls them Wedgies -- cuz yer spozed ta cut the grilled quesadillas into 6 triangles and eat them with your hands.  But we ate them with a knife and fork and used salsa as a dipping sauce.
Nothing to it!  Small can of sliced olives, small can of flaked chicken breast, small can of sliced jalapenos (pronounced "hala PAY nyos" --  not "hala PEE nose") AND a can of fat free refried beans.  You mix all that up in a bowl, then spread it onto a tortilla.  Cover with shredded cheese and put another tortilla on top.  Grill for 2 minutes per side.
NOTE:  It is far easier to put the chicken and bean stuff on one HALF of a tortilla, put cheese on the bean stuff and fold it over.  Spray PAM on both sides of your pre-heated George Foreman and grill it for 2-3 minutes.  Neater, and you don't waste a grill full of charcoal on something that takes 2 minutes to cook!
