Tortilla Shell

Method

Prepare Tortilla Shell

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortilla

    In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Carefully add each flour tortilla to the hot oil one at a time, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  2. 2

    Shape the Shell

    While the tortilla is still warm, carefully mold it into a bowl shape. You can use the back of a bowl or other container to help form the shell. Let it cool and harden.

Prepare Salad Filling

  1. 3

    Grill the Vegetables

    In a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Once heated, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, grilled onions, and bell peppers. Toss gently to mix.
