In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture evenly over one-half of the tortilla, then fold the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with olive oil. Cook the quesadillas one or two at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
To prepare the fiesta rice, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cooked rice, diced tomatoes with green chilies, thawed corn, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes, until warmed through and well combined.
Slice each quesadilla into thirds or quarters. Serve warm alongside the fiesta rice. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
