Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled or pan-cooked, sliced
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Caesar dressing
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4–6 tortilla cones, warmed and crisped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup croutons, for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of lemon juice. Grill or pan-sear the chicken until fully cooked and nicely browned. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-size pieces perfect for stuffing.
  2. Crisp the Tortilla Cones: Warm the tortilla cones slightly in the oven or toaster to make them crisp and sturdy. This helps prevent sogginess and adds a pleasant crunch.
  3. Toss the Salad: In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, Parmesan cheese, croutons (if using), and Caesar dressing. Toss gently until everything is well coated and evenly mixed.
  4. Assemble the Cones: Fill each crispy tortilla cone generously with the chicken Caesar salad mixture. Press down gently to fit as much filling as possible without overstuffing.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, or a little fresh lemon zest on top for a final touch of flavor and presentation before serving.

Notes

  • Prevent sogginess by tossing the salad with dressing just before assembling the cones.
  • Warm tortillas briefly; overheating can make them brittle and prone to cracking.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for richer flavor and slight melting effect.
  • Allow cooked chicken to rest a few minutes before slicing to retain juiciness and ensure clean cuts.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice to your taste preference.
