Grilled Chicken and Spinach Quesadillas image

My favorite sister-in-law introduced me to this recipe and we made it for a family gathering. Very quick and tasty with the use of the rotisserie chicken from the store. Apparently original source is June's Real Simple. And it is (real simple, that is). When I made this I had my grill a little too hot so pay attention when it says medium grill. Even the slightly too browned tortillas were forgiven, though, and these were very good!
