Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 ounce taco seasoning same as 1 packet
- 1 cup canned corn drained
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 1 small red onion chopped
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 green onions chopped (for garnishing)
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 20 tortillas 6-inch or taco size
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix in a large bowl shredded chicken, taco seasoning, corn, red bell pepper, red onion, green onion, salsa, and 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese until combined.
- Cut each tortilla in half.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling on one half of the tortilla (the straight edge side).
- Fold into a triangle (like a mini quesadilla) and press lightly to seal.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the triangle quesadillas in a circle with the pointed ends facing inward, overlapping slightly.
- Continue with all the filled tortilla triangles until you've formed a full ring.
- Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top if desired.
- Bake in preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions, cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream in the center of the ring for dipping.
Notes
- Use a pizza cutter to quickly cut tortillas. Lay them all out and evenly portion the filling out before you start rolling if you have the counter space.
- For crispier tortillas, brush the tops lightly with olive oil before baking.
- Shred your own cheese from a block instead of using pre-shredded cheeses. They melt better and taste better too.
- Put out extra napkins because these are delicious but can get a little messy.
