Shred the chicken, drain and rinse the beans so they are dry, chop the cilantro, defrost or drain and rinse the corn, and chop the bell pepper.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, black beans, corn, bell pepper, salsa, cilantro and pepper together until well combined.
Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat, spray the pan with cooking spray. Place one tortilla down. Top with ¼ cup of cheese, ¼-⅓ of chicken mixture and then another ¼ cup of Mexican cheese. Top with another tortilla. Let it cook. When the tortilla on the bottom is crisp and golden, carefully flip over to cook the other side. Cook until both the bottom and top if the quesadilla are golden brown.
If using a quesadilla maker heat quesadilla maker. Spray both sides with cooking spray. Place one tortilla down. Top with ¼ cup of cheese, ¼-⅓ of chicken mixture and then another ¼ cup of Mexican cheese. Top with another tortilla. Close and let cook.
