In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

In a separate pan or griddle, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

To assemble the quesadilla, place a tortilla in the pan and sprinkle a quarter of the chicken and cheese mixture onto half of the tortilla.
