Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place the flour tortilla in the skillet and cook until it becomes crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until well combined.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    On the crispy tortilla, layer the cooked ground beef, cheese sauce, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream on top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortilla is still warm and crispy. Enjoy your taco salad!
