Get ready for a flavor-packed and eye-catching dish with this Blooming Quesadilla Ring! It’s a fun and delicious way to enjoy quesadillas with your friends and family.
Ingredients:
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite melting cheese)
1 cup cooked and seasoned protein (such as grilled chicken, seasoned ground beef, or sautéed vegetables)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced onions
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for serving
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay one tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a small amount of cheese on top. Place another tortilla on top and press down gently.
Using a large round cookie cutter or a small bowl as a guide, cut a circle out of the stacked tortillas. Remove the excess tortilla scraps.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the remaining tortillas until you have 8 tortilla circles.
Take one tortilla circle and make radial cuts from the edge towards the center, leaving about an inch uncut in the center. Repeat with all the tortilla circles.
Place a spoonful of your chosen protein in the center of each tortilla circle. Sprinkle diced tomatoes, onions, and cilantro on top.
Fold each cut section of the tortilla towards the center, overlapping them slightly to create a blooming effect.
Transfer the assembled quesadilla ring to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining tortilla circles, filling them with your desired ingredients.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are slightly golden.
Remove the quesadilla ring from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve it warm with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole for dipping.
Get ready for a flavor-packed and easy-to-make dinner with Pillsbury’s Crescent Roll Taco Bake! This delicious dish combines the classic flavors of tacos with the flaky goodness of crescent rolls. Here’s the full recipe:
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Mexican blend, or your favorite)
Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced green onions, sour
cream, salsa
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and tomato sauce to the cooked ground beef. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a bottom crust. Ensure that the dough is pressed together to seal any perforations.
Pour the taco meat mixture over the crescent roll crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the taco meat.
Unroll the remaining crescent roll dough and place it on top of the cheese, gently pressing the seams together to seal. This will form the top crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent roll crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares and serve with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, diced green onions, sour cream, or salsa.
Enjoy this delicious Crescent Roll Taco Bake as a hearty and flavorful meal!
