Ingredients
- 20 flour tortilla taco shells
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
- 1 red bell pepper
- 3/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely diced
- 1/2 cup chunky salsa
- 1 cup taco sauce
- 4 cups Colby and Monterey Jack cheese shredded
- 4 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- fresh cilantro chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper with a wide mouth jar or glass dish in the center.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, bell pepper, onion, red onion, salsa and taco sauce. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Using a sharp knife, cut all tortillas in half.
- Sprinkle ½ tablespoon of colby and monterey jack cheese and cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon of chicken mixture on one side of the tortilla half.
- Roll each of the halved, filled tortillas into a cone shape. Make sure to roll the tortilla tight but don’t squeeze the filling out of the top of the tortilla.
- Place rolled cones with small pointed ends touching the wide mouth jar. Continue to do so with other tortillas until you have made a ring all the way around the wide mouth jar.
- Once you have made a complete bottom layer, sprinkle colby jack cheese all around the first layer of cones.
- Repeat the process for the second layer of cones. Then sprinkle with cheddar cheese on the second layer of cones.
- Continue to place rolled cones for the third and final layer of the ring. Sprinkle the top layer with remaining cheese.
- Remove the wide mouth jar from the center of the ring and place baking sheet into the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until tortillas are golden brown.
- Carefully transfer the quesadilla ring using the parchment paper to a serving plate and top with cilantro if you wish.
- Serve with salsa or your favorite dipping sauce.
