Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Tortillas: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of each flour tortilla with olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder to add flavor.
Shape the Tortilla Cones: Roll each tortilla into a cone shape, securing the edge with a toothpick or aluminum foil to hold it in place. Place the cones upright in a muffin tin or lean them against the side of a baking dish.
Bake to Crisp: Bake the tortilla cones for 10–12 minutes or until they become golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and allow them to cool completely so they hold their shape.
Prepare the Chicken Caesar Salad: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked diced or shredded chicken, Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped romaine lettuce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the quartered cherry tomatoes.
Assemble the Cones: Once the tortilla cones have cooled, carefully spoon the chicken Caesar salad mixture into each cone to fill them generously.
Add Crunch and Serve: Top each filled cone with crushed croutons if desired for an extra crunchy texture. Serve immediately for the best taste and crunch.

Notes

You can use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation without sacrificing flavor.
Make mini versions using small street taco tortillas for delightful party appetizers.
Serve with extra Caesar dressing on the side for dipping.
