Ingredients

  • 20 soft flour tortilla taco shells
  • 3 cups cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • ½ cup sweet yellow onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely diced
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 cup taco sauce
  • 4 cups Colby and Monterey Jack cheese, finely shredded
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, finely shredded
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place a large glass jar in the center of the prepared baking sheet to use as a ring mold.
  • Cut each tortilla in half and cover with a dry cloth to keep pliable.
  • In a bowl, combine chicken, yellow bell pepper, onions, salsa, taco sauce, and 2 cups of the mixed cheeses.
  • Spoon chicken mixture onto each tortilla half, top with 1½ tablespoons of cheese, then roll into cones. Position cones around the jar with pointed ends inward.
  • 继续排至第一层用12-13个锥形,中间填充剩余奶酪和鸡肉混合物,形成环状。
  • Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling for the second layer.
  • Press outer tortilla halves flat to bake evenly.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and crisp. Cool slightly, then remove the jar.
  • Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

Use a wide, heat-resistant wrap for easier removal.
Substitute the glass jar with a ring mold if available.
Ensure tortillas remain pliable by covering during assembly.
