1 tablespoon canola oil
1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
8 ounces white button mushrooms (about 3 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups cooked chopped chicken breasts (1 breast half)
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
4 (10 inch) whole wheat tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup salsa
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until they begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Add chicken, and chili powder, and stir until incorporated.
Add spinach, salt and pepper and cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Lay 1 tortilla on a flat work surface and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Spoon 1/2 chicken and vegetable mixture on top of cheese, then top with an additional 1/4 cup cheese. Top with another flour tortilla.
Heat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over medium heat. Carefully place 1 quesadilla in pan and cook 3 minutes. Using a large spatula, gently flip quesadilla and cook an additional 3 minutes until lightly browned and cheese is melted. Repeat with second quesadilla.
Slice each quesadilla into quarters. Place 2 quarters on a plate with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 2 tablespoons salsa.
