Blooming Quesadilla Ring Recipe

There’s something about a meal that invites everyone to gather around, eagerly awaiting their turn to dig in. This Blooming Quesadilla Ring is exactly that kind of dish—a savory, cheesy showstopper that turns a regular weeknight meal into a mini fiesta. Imagine layers of warm, crispy tortillas filled with tender shredded chicken, melty cheese, and just the right kick from bell pepper and jalapeño. It’s not just a snack; it’s an experience waiting to happen!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 jalapeño, chopped

  • 1 cup taco sauce

  • 20 taco-size tortillas

  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and taco sauce. Set aside this delicious mixture.

  2. Assemble the Tortilla Cones: Cut each tortilla in half. Add about 2 tablespoons each of cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and the chicken mixture onto each tortilla half. Carefully roll each tortilla into a cone, starting from the cut edge, being mindful not to push the filling out.

  3. Arrange the Quesadilla Ring: Place a wide-mouth jar or glass at the center of the prepared baking sheet. Form a ring around the jar with around 13 tortilla cones, positioning the cone points toward the center and touching the jar. Sprinkle a layer of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the tortillas. Repeat this step to create two more layers, using the remaining cones and cheese.

  4. Bake and Serve: Remove the jar from the center of the ring and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortilla edges are crispy. Carefully transfer the blooming quesadilla ring to a serving platter. Place your favorite dip in the center, garnish as desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Enjoy this eye-catching, savory ring with family and friends—it’s sure to be a hit!
