Chicken Quesadillas

1 cup canned vegetarian refried beans
1/4 cup bottled salsa
Nonstick cooking spray
8 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cooked chicken

Combine refried beans and salsa in a mixing bowl.

Heat oven to 200 degrees F.

Spray one side of a tortilla lightly with cooking spray. Place sprayed side down in a nonstick skillet. Spread with about 1/4 cup bean mixture. Top with 1/2 cup shredded chicken and about 1/2 cup cheese. Top with another tortilla and spray top lightly with spray. Cook over medium heat, pressing down with a spatula until lightly brown.
