Tex Mex Cones

What a cute way to serve up a tex-mex dish!

Preheat oven to 350.

Take four large flour tortillas (10 inch) and fold in half, then make a cone, overlapping.  Fold up the bottom and place each one in a muffin tin (sprayed with oil).  Spray the cones with oil, as well.  Bake about 15 minutes until crispy and golden.

Dice 1 lb chicken breasts.  In a bowl, mix 3 T flour with 1/2 tsp each of cumin and chili powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.  Toss the diced chicken to coat.  Heat 2 T olive oil in a nonstick skillet and cook the chicken til lightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.

Add half cup each of diced onion, red bell pepper, celery and carrots, and stir fry about 2 more minutes, until veggies start to soften.

Add 1 cup chicken broth, 1 can fire roasted tomatoes, and simmer until the mixture thickens.  Stir in cilantro and S&P to taste.

Spoon the mixture into the cones, top with Monterrey Jack cheese and serve with avocado.

Tip:  Drain off most of the juice from the mixture, as it will make the bottom of the cone a bit soggy if you pour in the juice.
