Description

These Chicken Caesar Salad Tortilla Cones offer a delightful twist on the classic Caesar salad. Crispy tortilla cones filled with a flavorful mix of chicken, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing are a fun and tasty appetizer option.


Ingredients

For the Tortilla Cones:

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • olive oil spray

For the Salad Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
  • 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • extra Parmesan and crushed croutons for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Shape the Tortilla Cones: Wrap each tortilla into a cone shape and secure with foil or a toothpick. Place on a baking sheet, spray with olive oil, and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
  3. Prepare the Salad Filling: In a bowl, combine chicken, romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Fill the Cones: Fill each cooled tortilla cone with the salad mixture. Garnish with Parmesan and crushed croutons if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tortilla cones can be made ahead and stored airtight, perfect for parties or lunchboxes.
  • Variation: Try using grilled shrimp or crispy tofu instead of chicken for a different flavor profile.
