  • 1 | Pastry brush | for oil
  • 1 | Air fryer |
  • 1 | Spoon | for filling

Ingredients
  

  • 6 | | flour tortillas |
  • 2 | cups | cooked chicken | shredded
  • 1 | cup | corn kernels | drained
  • 1/4 | cup | fresh parsley | chopped
  • 1/3 | cup | mayonnaise |
  • 1 | cup | shredded cheese | mozzarella or cheddar
  • 2 | tbsp | oil | for brushing
  • 1 | | salt and pepper | to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix shredded chicken, corn, parsley, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Cut each flour tortilla in half.
  • Roll each half into a tight cone shape and place on a tray.
  • Brush the outsides lightly with oil.
  • Air fry empty cones at 375°F for 4–5 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
  • Fill each cone with the chicken mixture.
  • Top with shredded cheese.
  • Air fry another 2–3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Best eaten right away so the tortilla shells stay crisp.
Empty cones can be crisped a few hours ahead and filled just before serving.
Leftover filling keeps in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
Bake at 400°F if you do not have an air fryer.
