Method

Prepare Tortilla Bowl

  1. 1

    Fry Tortilla

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Gently place a flour tortilla in the skillet and fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until it is golden and crispy. Remove from skillet and shape it into a bowl using a bowl or your hands. Allow it to cool.

Cook Protein

  1. 2

    Cook the Steak or Chicken

    Season the steak or chicken with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, cook the meat for about 5-7 minutes per side (for steak) or until fully cooked (for chicken) over medium-high heat. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Sauté Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté Onions and Peppers

    In the same skillet, add sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat.

  2. 4

    Chop Tomatoes

    Dice the tomatoes and set aside for assembly.

Assemble Salad

  1. 5

    Build the Taco Salad

    In the crispy tortilla bowl, layer the cooked protein, sautéed onions and peppers, and diced tomatoes. Top generously with pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese sauce.
