SasquatchAstronaut: That whole tray is one serving right?
Flash_252: Great recipe. A lot of people under value presentation
Ariel_Etaime: I love how this looks but I think I’d miss the crunchy maillard skin on griddled quesadillas!
drocks27: **Ingredients**
for 20 servings
* 3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
* 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
**Preparation**
1. Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
1. In a bowl, add the chicken, red bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, and taco sauce, and mix to combine. Set aside.
1. Cut each tortilla in half. Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons each of the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chicken mixture on one half of the tortilla.
1. Roll the tortilla into a cone starting from the cut edge making sure not to push the ingredients out of the tortilla.
1. Place a wide mouth jar or glass in the center of a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
1. Create a ring around the jar with the tortilla cones. The point of the cones should be in the center, touching the surface of the jar. There should be about 13 cones in the first layer.
1. Sprinkle both cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the first layer of cones.
1. Start the second layer of cones by placing one cone on top and in between 2 cones in the first layer. Continue this process with the rest of the cones. There should be 3 full layers of cones with 3 left to fill some of the empty space in the top.
1. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar and Monterey Jack on top of the blooming quesadilla. Remove jar from center of ring. Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
1. Transfer to a plate. Place dip of choice inside the ring. Top with desired garnishes.
1. Serve immediately.

firexsign: Why am I watching this when I’m stoned with $1.67 in my bank account?
frameworkautoco: This looks very tasty but also *what* the *fuck*
sideways_blow_bang: This is terrifying and wonderful at the same time. I want to see what is at the center bottom after baking? I think there is gold down there?
ElCharmann: Sorry if this comes of as pretentious, I’m sure your dish is very tasty. But as a Mexican I must say, those are not quesadillas. Quesadillas can be roasted or deep fried (depending on where you’re from) but they’re never baked. Also using cheddar cheese is never a good idea, I would recommend Oaxaca cheese or Manchego cheese. Mexican food doesn’t really use jalapeños and red peppers for the most part, but I suppose Tex-Mex could also count as Mexican food.
Also wth is “taco sauce”?
Phx-Z: Need to try this
MBG80: Where’s the DAMN sour cream?!
100percent_right_now: I’ve watch the gif like 5 times now and it still hasn’t bloomed, send help.
Or more accurately, call it a quesadilla platter, cause even though that’s a stretch that’s all it is. Take your buzzwords elsewhere.
