Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla Shells

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with olive oil. Place them in a muffin tin or on a baking sheet, pressing them into a bowl shape. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground chicken or beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In each baked tortilla shell, layer shredded lettuce, cooked meat, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and a scoop of guacamole.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortilla shells are still crispy. Enjoy your Taco Salad!
