Ingredients:
– 1 package of large flour tortillas (8-10 tortillas)

– 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, mix together shredded cheese, diced chicken, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic.
3. Assemble quesadilla ring: Arrange tortillas in a circular pattern, overlapping each tortilla slightly to form a ring.
4. Add filling: Spoon the cheese and chicken mixture evenly around the center of the tortilla ring, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Fold tortillas: Fold the tortillas over the filling, pressing gently to seal.
6. Brush with olive oil: Brush the tops of the tortillas with olive oil.
7. Bake: Bake the quesadilla ring for 15-20 minutes, or until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice into individual servings and top with desired toppings.
