Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium. Sprinkle flour over pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Slowly add stock; cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove pan from heat; stir in spinach, hot sauce, salt, pepper, chicken, and cheese. Heat a large skillet over medium. Divide chicken mixture evenly over half of each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half over filling. Carefully coat both sides of quesadillas with cooking spray. Add 2 quesadillas to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned and cheese is melted.

Personal Notes:
Quesadillas are so easy and versatile. If you keep tortillas and cheese on hand you can add all kind of leftovers to them. A simple, veggie version can be made with bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, olives, and cheese. The recipe above is a good way of sneaking spinach into your kids.
