Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) if you are baking the quesadilla cones.

- Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with fajita seasoning and salsa. Add the cooked peppers and onion, and stir well to combine.
- Prepare Cones: Cut each tortilla in half, then fold the halves into cone shapes and secure with toothpicks.
- Fill Cones: Start by adding a layer of shredded cheese at the bottom of each cone. Spoon the chicken and vegetable filling into the cones, topping with more shredded cheese.

- Oven Method: Line a baking tray with baking paper. Space the cones on the tray and spray with oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the toothpicks from the cones and serve immediately with napkins, sour cream, and fresh coriander.
