Chicken and Jalapeno Quesadillas

8 burrito-size jalapeno or other chile-flavored flour tortillas
Vegetable oil
3 cups (packed) shredded Mexican-blend cheeses
3 cups (packed) shredded Mexican-seasoned or other
    purchased roasted chicken
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Brush 2 tortillas with oil. Place tortillas, oil side down, on baking sheet. Sprinkle each with 1/4 of cheese, half of chicken, half of cilantro and 1/4 of cheese, leaving a 3/4-inch border. Top each with 1 tortilla, pressing to adhere; brush top with oil. Bake quesadillas until filling is heated through and edges begin to crisp, about 10 minutes.

Using large metal spatula, turn each over and bake until bottom is crisp, about 5 minutes.

Transfer quesadillas to plates. Cut into wedges and serve.
