Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Quesadillas

3 Tbs Mayonnaise
3 Tbs Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
1/2 cup finely diced sweet onion
1 1/2 tsp fresh lime juice
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups shredded pepper jack cheese
1 1/2 cups sliced or shredded cooked chicken
8 low carb garlic-herb tortillas

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees.  Combine mayonnaise, pesto, onion, lime juice and salt in a large bown.  Fold in chicken and cheese until evenly mixed.

2. lightly brush one side of each tortilla with olive oil or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.  Place 4 tortillas oiled side down on a baking sheet.  Divide chicken mixture evenly over tortillas (about 3/4 cup per tortilla).  Top with remaining tortillas, oiled side up.  Bake 10 minutes until golden.  Serve hot.

Tip: For variety, substitute regular basil pesto for sun-dried tomato pesto and replace pepper jack cheese with provolone.
