Ingredients

  • The Crispy Shells:
  • 4 Thin Flatbreads Lavash or thin Flour Tortillas, cut in half.
  • 1 tbsp Neutral Oil Vegetable or Avocado oil for brushing.
  • 8 –10 Toothpicks to secure shape.
  • The Creamy Savory Filling:
  • 1 cup Cooked Chicken shredded or finely diced.
  • 1 small can 5 oz Tuna (drained and flaked).
  • 1/2 cup Sweet Corn canned or thawed.
  • 1/2 cup Mushrooms finely chopped.
  • 1/2 cup Potato Chips shredded/crushed.
  • The Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt.
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise.

Instructions

  • Form the Cones
  • Roll: Take a flatbread half and roll it tightly into a cone shape, ensuring the bottom tip is closed.
  • Secure: Use a toothpick to pin the outer flap to the body of the cone so it doesn't unroll.
  • The Crisp Factor
  • Method A (Bake): Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the cones lightly with oil and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and rigid.
  • Method B (Fry): Heat oil in a pan and deep-fry the cones for 1–2 minutes until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Mix the Filling
  • Combine: In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, flaked tuna, corn, and mushrooms.
  • Dress: Stir in the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise until the mixture is creamy and well-incorporated.
  • The Final Crunch & Assembly
  • Timing is Everything: Just seconds before serving, stir the crushed potato chips into the creamy mixture.
  • Fill: Remove the toothpicks from the crispy cones. Spoon the filling into each cone until full.
  • Serve: Serve immediately while the shells are warm and the chips inside are still crunchy.
