Quesadilla Cones

• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

drizzle of Olive Oil

1 medium Red Onion, thinly sliced

2 Peppers, thinly sliced then halve the slices

400g / 14oz Shredded Cooked Chicken (the best part of a whole cooked rotisserie chicken)

2 tbsp Fajita Seasoning (store-bought or homemade recipe on the blog)

1x 300g/10.5oz jar of Hot Doritos Salsa, or the equivalent amount of your favourite salsa

5x 23-25cm/9-10" Flour Tortilla Wraps

300g / 3 cups freshly grated Cheddar

Oil Spray, as needed

Sour Cream, to serve

finely diced Fresh Coriander/Cilantro, to serve

Directions

If you're using the oven preheat it to 180C/350F.

Add a drizzle of oil to a large pan over high heat then add the onion and peppers. Fry until they soften and lightly char, then remove from the heat.

In a large mixing bowl toss the shredded chicken with the seasoning, then stir in the peppers, onion and salsa until just combined.

Stack the tortillas and use a sharp knife to halve them. One by one, fold each half into a cone, securing the seam with a toothpick (see video for reference).

Sprinkle in some cheese, then spoon in some of the chicken (it should be nice and compact). Cover the top with more cheese and press it down so it sticks*. Repeat with the remaining cones.

AIR FRY: Line the base with baking paper then space out the cones (you may need to work in batches so they've got enough room). Lightly spray with oil then cook at 180C/350F for around 8 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and hot through the centre. OR BAKE: Line a large baking tray with baking paper and space out the cones. Lightly spray with oil and bake for around 12 minutes, or until crisp on the outside and hot through the centre.

Remove the toothpicks and serve with napkins/kitchen roll to catch excess oil. Top with sour cream and coriander as needed. Enjoy!

It's important to press down the cheese on the top to give it the best chance of staying on. It will naturally melt and spill a little, but you can just scrape it back on if needed once they're cooked.

Notes

Jade - have made this before but not this specific recipe, very good! Toothpick is smart… I used to “glue” them with flour and water lol
