Ensalada Tapatia Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Grill the Carne Asada

   Season the carne asada with salt and pepper. Preheat the grill to high heat and cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

2. 2

   Prepare the Greens

   While the steak is resting, wash and chop the romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, and spinach. Place them in a large salad bowl.

3. 3

   Chop the Vegetables

   Dice the tomatoes and onion, and add them to the bowl with the greens. Drain and rinse the corn if using canned, and add it as well.

4. 4

   Slice the Avocado

   Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and add to the salad.

5. 5

   Add Remaining Ingredients

   Add the black olives, whole pinto beans, and corn tortilla strips to the salad bowl. Crumble queso fresco on top.

6. 6

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle the vinaigrette dressing over the top of the salad. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

7. 7

   Serve

   Slice the rested carne asada into thin strips and layer it on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
