How to make it

0 of 5 steps complete

Spray a counter lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Combine 2 of the rolls together, then roll into an 8-inch circle. (The dough will be thin.)
Place a small skillet over medium heat and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the rolled rolls in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Repeat with the remaining rolls to make a total of 16 flatbreads.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, salsa, black beans, corn and cilantro.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Butter one side of a flatbread with the butter. Sprinkle the other side with some cheese, top with some of the chicken mixture, more cheese, then another flatbread. Brush the top of the second flatbread with the melted butter.
Grill for 3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is browned. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a total of 8 quesadillas.
