Salad Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Prepare Charro Beans

    If using canned charro beans, drain and rinse them. If using homemade, ensure they are warmed through.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Salad Base

    In a large bowl, add the mixed lettuce as the base. Layer the cooked ground beef and charro beans on top.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Spoon the guacamole and sour cream over the salad. Sprinkle diced tomatoes and shredded cheese on top. Finally, add the tortilla strips for crunch.
