One of the essential steps in preparing your Mini Chicken Quesadilla Cones is ensuring that you mix the filling ingredients thoroughly. This step is crucial for even flavor distribution throughout the cones. When combining your cooked chicken, black beans, corn, diced bell peppers, cheese, and spices, use a spatula or a mixing spoon to incorporate everything evenly. This method guarantees that every cone is packed with the same delicious flavor, ensuring that every bite is just as tasty as the last.

Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded cheese (choose either cheddar or Monterey Jack for best results)

½ cup black beans, drained and rinsed

½ cup corn (you can use frozen or canned)

½ cup diced bell pepper (any color will work – red, green, yellow, or orange)

¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 teaspoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 package (8-count) small flour tortillas

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Salsa and sour cream for serving on the side

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, shredded cheese, black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, chopped cilantro, taco seasoning, and lime juice. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well integrated and coated with the lime juice.

    Shape the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Take the flour tortillas and cut each one into quarters. Lightly coat a muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

      Form the Cones: Take one tortilla quarter and gently roll it into a cone shape, overlapping the edges to secure it. Place the formed cone into one of the cups of the muffin tin. Repeat this rolling process with the remaining tortilla quarters until all cups are filled with cones.

        Fill the Cones: Carefully spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla cone, being sure to fill them generously, but leaving a little space at the top to prevent overflow during baking.

          Bake: Once all cones are filled, transfer the muffin tin to your preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is thoroughly melted.

            Serve: Using caution (the cones will be hot), carefully remove the mini quesadilla cones from the muffin tin. Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by salsa and sour cream for dipping.
