Taco Ensalada Ingredients

Method

Taco Ensalada Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crispy Shell

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place a flour tortilla into the oil. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. Shape the tortilla into a bowl while it cools.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Taco Ensalada

    In the crispy tortilla shell, layer your choice of cooked chicken, beef picadillo, shredded beef, or beans. Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a generous amount of Pico de Gallo on top.

  3. 3

    Add Toppings

    Finish off your taco ensalada by adding shredded cheddar cheese, a scoop of guacamole, and a dollop of sour cream on top.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the shell is still crispy. Enjoy your delicious Taco Ensalada!
