1 Combine the chopped chicken, corn kernels (no need to thaw first), sliced green onions, diced green chiles, shredded cheese, cumin, and salt in a bowl. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
2 Place 1/2 cup of the chicken and corn mixture in each tortilla, spreading it over 1/2 of the surface, then folding the tortilla to close. Repeat until you run out of filling (I filled 7 tortillas before running out).
3 Place the quesadillas in a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Cook on each side until the tortillas are brown and crispy and the filling is melted and gooey. Cut each quesadilla into thirds and serve.
