Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4.5 cups shredded chicken
- 10 soft taco-size flour tortillas
- 15 ounces (425 grams) refried beans
Protein and Seasoning:
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water
Topping:
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to a toasty 350F (175C), preparing the stage for a culinary spectacle.
- Transform shredded chicken into a flavor-packed sensation by massaging taco seasoning and water into the meat until every strand is thoroughly coated.
- Metamorphose whole tortillas into elegant semi-circular segments, creating the foundation for your burrito architecture.
- Craft each tortilla half into a delectable vessel, nestling a dollop of creamy refried beans, a tender mound of seasoned chicken, and a sprinkle of melty cheese.
- Skillfully roll each tortilla segment into a precise cone, ensuring the treasured filling remains securely embraced.
- Prepare your cooking canvas by lavishing a pie dish with nonstick spray, then strategically position a small bowl at the center to serve as a structural guide.
- Artfully arrange the tortilla cones in concentric circles around the central bowl, creating a radiant ring. Cascade the first layer with a generous shower of shredded cheese.
- Crown the creation with a second layer of tortilla cones, dusting the summit with remaining cheese for maximum indulgence.
- Extract the central bowl and slide the dish into the preheated oven, allowing the masterpiece to transform for 20 minutes until the cheese bubbles and browns with irresistible allure.
- Present your Blooming Burrito Ring with a vibrant salsa centerpiece, inviting guests to dive into this edible work of art.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adjusting the amount of taco seasoning or choosing a mild, medium, or hot variety to suit different taste preferences.
- For a healthier version, swap regular tortillas with whole wheat or low-carb alternatives and use lean chicken breast or shredded turkey.
- Prepare the filling ahead of time to reduce cooking stress and make assembly quick and easy during mealtime.
- Create a vegetarian option by replacing chicken with black beans, roasted vegetables, or plant-based protein crumbles for an equally delicious meal.
