A fun and easy-to-make cheesy quesadilla ring that blooms open with crispy petals, perfect for parties, game nights, or casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken (optional)
  • 2 finely chopped green onions
  • 1 small finely diced jalapeño (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • Sour cream and salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, jalapeño, and taco seasoning. If using chicken, mix it in now. Stir until well incorporated.
  3. Lay out four tortillas stacked on a clean surface. Spread the cheese filling evenly over the top tortilla, leaving about a ½-inch border around the edges.
  4. Top with the remaining four tortillas and press gently to sandwich the filling evenly.
  5. Cut the stacked tortillas into 16 equal strips, starting from the edge and cutting toward the center, stopping about 2 inches from the middle to keep the center intact.
  6. Brush each tortilla strip with melted butter.
  7. Carefully fold each strip outward, pulling the strips outward and slightly overlapping to form a blooming ring with petals.
  8. Place the ring on a greased or parchment-lined baking pan.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tortillas are crispy and golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to help the cheese settle.
  11. Serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole for dipping.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, tent the ring with foil halfway through baking. Use room temperature ingredients for better melting. Avoid overloading filling to prevent sogginess. Let the ring rest after baking for easier serving. Reheat leftovers in toaster or conventional oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
