Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Boil or steam until fork-tender, approximately 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Dice the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Avocado

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and lime juice if desired.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, black beans, corn salsa, sautéed onions, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin seeds. Mix gently.

  5. 5

    Add the Cheese and Dressing

    Top the salad with Chihuahua cheese or vegan mozzarella, followed by a dollop of sour cream or Cucumber Ranch dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the salad with corn chips on the side and house-made salsa for drizzling.
