Tortilla Bowl

Method

Preparing the Tortilla Bowl

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully place each tortilla in the oil, pressing down with a spatula to form a bowl shape. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Cooking the Filling

  1. 2

    Cook the Protein

    In a separate pan, cook the chicken or ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F for chicken). If using chicken, shred it once cooked.

  2. 3

    Add Fajita Seasoning

    Sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the cooked protein and mix well. If using chicken, add the shredded chicken back to the pan.

  3. 4

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the sliced bell peppers and chopped onion to the pan with the protein. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

Assembling the Salad

  1. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    In each tortilla bowl, place a generous amount of the cooked filling. Top with shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa as desired.
