Chicken Taco Ring Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 15-inch round metal pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Place a 4-inch round ovensafe bowl or ramekin in the middle of the pan.
• Whisk the cream cheese and Buffalo sauce together in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the chicken and scallion whites. Divide the chicken mixture among the taco shells and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Arrange the taco shells on the prepared pizza pan in a circle around the bowl so they look like the rays of the sun. Drape a slice of Cheddar over each taco (the slices will overlap slightly). Bake until the cheese is melted and the taco shells are light golden brown, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the cilantro, carrots, celery, celery leaves, scallion greens, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl.
• Top each taco with some of the salad and drizzle with ranch dressing and more Buffalo sauce. Fill the bowl in the middle with ranch dressing for dipping.

Steps:

• Grease a 12-in. pizza pan. Unroll crescent dough. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup tortilla chips; press down gently. Separate into 16 triangles. , Place wide end of one triangle, chip side down, 3 in. from edge of prepared pan, with point overhanging edge of pan. Repeat with remaining triangles, overlapping the wide ends (dough will look like a sun when complete). Lightly press wide ends together., In a small bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, mayonnaise, chilies, olives, tomato, taco seasoning, lime juice and remaining tortilla chips. Spoon over wide ends of dough. Fold points of triangles over filling and tuck under wide ends (filling will be visible). , Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with sour cream, salsa, tomatoes and lime.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, add the chicken, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and taco sauce, and mix to combine. Set aside.
• Cut each tortilla in half. Evenly add about 2 tablespoons each of the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and chicken mixture to each tortilla half.
• Roll the tortillas into cones, starting fro the cut edge and making sure not to push the ingredients out of the tortilla.
• Place a wide mouth jar or glass in the center of the baking sheet.
• Create a ring around the jar with about 13 tortilla cones. The points of the cones should be in the center, touching the jar. Sprinkle cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the layer. Repeat with the remaining cones to make 2 more layers, finishing with the rest of the cheddar and Monterey Jack. Remove the jar from the center of the ring.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and the edges of the tortillas are crispy, 15-20 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the blooming quesadilla to a serving platter. Place your dip of choice inside the ring and top with your desired garnishes. Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook chicken breasts. Cool and dice into ½ inch pieces.
• Combine chicken, taco seasoning, and cheese in a bowl and mix.
• Microwave 2 min., until cheese melts.
• Add salsa (½ of the sour cream may be added at this time) and mix well.
• To assemble ring: Unroll the crescent rolls and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on a cookie sheet or pizza pan (I lightly spray with Pam) with the wide ends of triangles overlapping towards center of pan and points hanging over edge of pan. (There should be about a 7 - 10 inch opening in center of pan).
• Scoop the meat mixture evenly onto the widest end of the triangles. Bring points up over the filling and tuck under wide ends of dough at center of ring. (Filling will not be completely covered)
• Bake 20-25 minute @ 375 or until golden brown.
• Serve with sour cream and/or salsa.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix water and taco seasoning mix into ground beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until water is evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix ground beef mixture, 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese, and 1/2 of the sour cream together in a bowl.
• Roll crescent roll dough out onto a baking stone in the shape of a sunflower, with the triangle points pointing outward. Spread ground beef mixture onto dough in a circular shape. Wrap pointed end of dough around the beef mixture, sealing to the other end of dough making a ring-shape.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve alongside the remaining Cheddar cheese and sour cream.
