Key Tools
Recipe Instructions
1
Assemble the Tortilla Cones: Dip each tortilla into the melted butter to coat both sides evenly. Press the tortilla into shredded cheese so the cheese adheres to one side. Fold each tortilla into a cone shape with the cheesy side facing inward, then place them upright inside heat-safe glasses.
2
Prep the Layers: Season the diced potatoes with salt and black pepper. Spoon a layer into the bottom of each tortilla cone. Add a layer of sliced red onions. Diced chicken breast should be soaked briefly in milk to enhance tenderness, then drained and layered into the cones. In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, eggs, and a portion of shredded cheese until fully combined. Ladle this rich mixture over the chicken layer. Top each cone with a tomato slice and a generous sprinkle of remaining shredded cheese.
3
Bake & Check Internal Temp: Place the loaded glasses onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Set your TempPro TempPro TM04B Digital Kitchen Timer to count down 35 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown. Insert your TempPro TempSwift ELITE TP620 Instant-Read Meat Thermometer into the center of the chicken filling. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) for safe and perfect doneness. Remove from the oven once fully cooked.
4
Make the Dip & Serve: In a small bowl, combine the sour cream or Greek yogurt, minced garlic, finely diced red onion, and chopped parsley. Mix well. Serve the crispy tortilla cones hot alongside the fresh garlic-herb dip.
