Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add the bacon. Cook it for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp. Add the onions, and cook until just heated. Remove the mixture from the pan, and cover it to keep it warm. Drain any excess grease. Return the skillet to the stove, and coat with cooking spray if needed. Add the eggs and cook, stirring often, until firm. Stir in the bacon mixture. Place a nonstick skillet that’s larger than the tortilla over medium-high heat. Add the tortilla to the pan. Sprinkle half of the cheese over half of the tortilla. Then, sprinkle the egg mixture and the chilies over that. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. Fold the bare half over the filled half. Cook it for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is beginning to melt and it is lightly browned in spots. Carefully flip the quesadilla, and cook it another 2 minutes, until the cheese is completely melted.
