Taco Salad Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla Bowls

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush each tortilla with oil and shape them into bowls using an oven-safe bowl or mold. Bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Remove and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine black beans, roasted corn, and pickled jalapenos. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large mixing bowl, toss together the mixed greens, pico de gallo, and chopped cilantro. Layer the black bean and corn salsa on top.

  4. 4

    Add Protein and Toppings

    Spoon the adobo chicken (or chosen protein) over the salad. Top with guacamole, crumbled cotija cheese, and drizzle with jalapeno-lime crema.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Carefully place the salad mixture into the fried tortilla bowls and serve immediately.
