Method

Tortilla Shell Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortilla Shells

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place each flour tortilla in the oil, using a spatula to shape it into a bowl. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Fajita Filling Preparation

  1. 2

    Cook the Fajita Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced chicken or beef strips and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Add sliced bell peppers and onion, sprinkle with fajita seasoning, and stir-fry for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender. Remove from heat.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, corn, and black beans. Toss gently to mix.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    Place a serving of the salad mixture into each crispy tortilla shell. Top with the fajita filling, then dollop with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Serve immediately.
