Ingredients
Scale
For the tortilla cones:
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the filling:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1½ cups chopped romaine lettuce
- ¼ cup croutons, crushed slightly
- Extra Parmesan and croutons for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the tortilla cones: Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with olive oil. Roll each tortilla into a cone shape and secure with a toothpick or foil. Place the cones upright in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet, tip-side down against the pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool and remove toothpicks or foil.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and crushed croutons. Season with salt and pepper. Gently fold in chopped romaine lettuce just before serving.
- Assemble the cones: Spoon the chicken Caesar mixture into each tortilla cone. Garnish with extra Parmesan or croutons if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- Prepare the filling ahead and assemble before serving.
- Great for parties, picnics, or as a lunchbox option.
