Ingredients (per serving):
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to cook the quesadillas.
- Don't overfill the tortillas with ingredients, or they will be difficult to flip.

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, mix together the chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, and olive oil. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro. Add the chipotle lime mixture and stir to combine.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top.
4. Add half of the chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the chicken.
5. Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently with a spatula.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
