Ingredients

Scale

For the Quesadilla Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef (or shredded chicken)
  • 1/2 cup onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

For the Quesadilla Ring:

  • 10–12 small flour tortillas (fajita-size)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)

For Dipping:

  • Sour cream
  • Salsa
  • Guacamole

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onions until browned.
  2. Drain excess grease, then stir in garlic, taco seasoning, water, and salsa. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 2: Assemble the Quesadilla Ring

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Cut tortillas in half and place a tablespoon of filling on the cut edge of each half.
  4. Sprinkle with extra cheese, then roll each tortilla half into a cone shape, sealing the edges.
  5. Arrange the filled cones in a circle, slightly overlapping, around a small bowl (to keep space for dipping).

Step 3: Bake & Serve

  1. Brush the tops of the tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder and smoked paprika.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  3. Remove the bowl, fill the center with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream, and serve warm!

Notes

  • Cheese Options: Use cheddar, pepper jack, or mozzarella for different flavors.
  • Protein Swap: Substitute ground turkey, shredded chicken, or black beans for variety.
  • Make It Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne to the filling.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to keep them crispy.
