Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla Shells

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the flour tortillas with olive oil and shape them into a bowl using oven-safe bowls or molds. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or shredded chicken until fully cooked. If using ground beef, drain excess fat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Beans

    Heat the canned black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

  4. 4

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, tomato, and avocado. Shred the lettuce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In each crispy tortilla shell, layer the cooked meat, beans, lettuce, diced onion, diced tomato, a drizzle of cheese sauce, a dollop of sour cream, and top with diced avocado.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the tortilla shells are still crispy.
