Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Tortilla Shells

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil. Place each tortilla over an oven-safe bowl to create a bowl shape. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in taco seasoning and add a splash of water if needed. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Once the tortilla shells have cooled, fill each shell with shredded lettuce, followed by the cooked meat. Top with pico de gallo and a generous dollop of sour cream.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious taco salad!
