Tortilla Wreath

Serves 10 / 30 mins

20 Casa Mendosa® 50/50 Corn-Wheat Tortillas or Casa Mendosa® Original Tortillas
3 cups of cooked and shredded chicken
1 onion
1 red bell pepper
1 jalapeno
1 cup taco sauce
6 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Optional: salsa for serving

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Preheat your oven to 350°F
Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place shredded chicken into a large bowl; adding onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno and taco sauce. Mix well to combine.
Cut each tortilla in half and place 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture with 4 tablespoons of Monterey Jack cheese on one half of each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla into cones.
Place a jar in the center of a the lined baking sheet.
Place the first layer of stuffed tortillas around the jar to create a wreath-like shape. The points of the cones should be touching the jar.
Sprinkle cheese over each cone layer and repeat the process until you have used the remaining tortillas.
Remove the jar from the baking sheet before placing in the oven.
Bake the wreath for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
Once cooled, carefully transfer the blooming quesadilla to a serving platter.
Serve with your favourite dipping sauce. We recommend salsa or guacamole.
