Method:

Spray a large frying pan with your low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add your chicken breasts and cook until the juices run clear. Then use 2 forks to shred your chicken.
Add your carrots and basil to your greens. Whisk your olive oil with balsamic vinegar until thick, adding your honey and blending. Drizzle your salad very lightly with your dressing.
Layer your ingredients in the following order on half of each wrap, a sprinkling of cheese, your courgette, chicken, sweetcorn, tomato salsa, and some more cheese. Then fold your wrap in half so all the edges meet.
Spray a pan with your low calorie cooking spray and place your quesadilla back in, and fry over a high heat and cook until nicely browned on one side. Flip over and cook until your cheese has melted.
Transfer your quesadillas to a chopping board and cut each one into 3 wedges. Serve warm with salsa on the side.
