Description:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of the Southwest with these irresistible Southwest Tortilla Wedges. Perfect for a quick snack or a party appetizer, these wedges are loaded with savory chicken, gooey cheeses, and zesty salsa, all nestled between layers of warm flour tortillas. With a hint of Tex Mex flair, they’re sure to be a hit at any gathering!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. Prepare Salsa Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the salsa and sour cream. Set aside half of this mixture for later use.

  3. Prepare Chicken Filling: To the remaining salsa mixture, add the shredded chicken and half of the diced red bell pepper. Mix well to combine.

  4. Assemble Tortilla Stacks: On an ungreased cookie sheet, place two of the flour tortillas. Spread each tortilla with a generous layer of the chicken mixture.

  5. Layer with Guacamole: Take another two tortillas and spread them with guacamole. Place these on top of the chicken-covered tortillas.

  6. Top with Remaining Ingredients: On each stack, add a layer of the reserved salsa mixture, followed by another tortilla, the remaining diced bell pepper, and a sprinkle of both cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

  7. Bake: Place the assembled tortilla stacks in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is heated through.

  8. Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the tortilla stacks from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, using a sharp knife, cut each stack into 8 wedges.

  9. Enjoy: Serve these Southwest Tortilla Wedges warm, with extra salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping. Enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite!
