1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1 Anjou pear, cored and finely diced

1 cup La Bottega di BlGioioso® Peperoncino® cheese
8 (8-inch) flour tortillas

To prepare salsa, combine first 7 ingredients. Cover and chill.
To prepare quesadillas, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 cup sliced onions to pan; sauté 3 minutes. Remove onions from pan. Reduce heat to medium.
Sprinkle 2 Tbsp. Peperoncino cheese over each of 4 tortillas. Top each cheese-covered tortilla with one-fourth of onions, 1/2 cup chicken, 2 Tbsp. Peperoncino cheese, and a tortilla.
Recoat pan with cooking spray. Add 1 quesadilla to pan; cook until lightly browned on each side and cheese melts. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
