Blooming Quesadilla Ring Ingredients

Substitutions And Additions

CHICKEN: If you prefer, you can use ground beef in place of the chicken in this recipe. Cook it first before adding it in place of the chicken.

TORTILLAS: Swap the flour tortillas for other types, such as corn tortillas or even flavored ones, to add something different to the recipe.

How To Make This Blooming Quesadilla Ring Recipe

STEP ONE: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put a large wide-mouth jar in the center of the baking sheet.

STEP TWO: Using a cutting board and a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas in half.

Cover the halved tortillas with a clean, dry cloth and set aside.

STEP THREE: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced yellow pepper, finely diced yellow onion, finely diced red onion, salsa, and taco sauce.

Stir well until all of the ingredients are completely incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Sprinkle 1½ to 2 tablespoons each of the shredded Colby and Monterey Jack cheeses and the chicken mixture.

STEP FIVE: Roll each of the halved, filled tortillas into a cone shape. Be careful not to squish out the filling.

The small pointed ends of the cones need to touch the wide-mouth jar and form a ring around the jar.

STEP SIX: Once you have made a complete bottom layer, about 12 to 13 tortilla cones, sprinkle ¾ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the ring.

STEP SEVEN: Repeat the ring of cones for a second layer. Then top with one cup of the Colby and Monterey jack cheese.

STEP EIGHT: Repeat for the third and final ring. Remove the glass jar from the center of the cones.

STEP NINE: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven or until the edges of the cones are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

STEP TEN: Using the edges of the parchment paper, carefully transfer the quesadilla ring to a heat-safe serving plate.

STEP ELEVEN: Serve the quesadilla ring with your favorite salsa or dipping sauce.
