Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 grilled chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated
  • 4 tortilla cones or 4 soft flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup croutons (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Grill or pan-cook until fully cooked and juicy, then slice into thin strips perfect for filling the cones.
  2. Toss the Salad: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, shaved Parmesan cheese, croutons, and a generous drizzle of Caesar dressing. Add a splash of lemon juice to brighten the flavors, then toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  3. Shape the Tortilla Cones: If using regular tortillas, warm them slightly in a pan to make them pliable. Carefully shape each tortilla into a cone by folding and securing the edges with a small skewer or toothpick, or use specialty tortilla cones if available.
  4. Assemble the Cones: Fill each tortilla cone halfway with the salad mixture, then add sliced chicken on top. Finish filling with a bit more salad if desired, ensuring it’s packed but not overflowing for easy eating.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Chicken Caesar Salad Tortilla Cones fresh to keep the crunch crisp and flavors lively. Garnish with extra Parmesan or a lemon wedge for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Use freshly grilled chicken and crisp lettuce for best texture and flavor.
  • Warm tortillas lightly to make them flexible and easier to shape without cracking.
  • Avoid overdressing the salad to keep cones from becoming soggy.
  • Secure the cones well with small skewers or fold tortillas snugly to hold their shape.
  • Add croutons just before serving for maximum crunch.
