Tortillas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Protein

    Choose your preferred protein option (chicken, beef, black beans, or shrimp) and ensure it is cooked and ready to use. Shred or chop as necessary.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each corn tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are pliable and slightly toasted.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a warmed tortilla on a plate. Add about 1/3 cup of your chosen protein in the center of the tortilla.

  2. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the protein with approximately 1/3 cup of field greens, followed by 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream and drizzle with salsa to taste.

  3. 5

    Fold and Serve

    Carefully fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients. Serve immediately with extra salsa on the side.
