Taco Shell

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Taco Shell

  1. 1

    Fry the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry each flour tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Shape them into bowls using a taco shell holder or by pressing them into the sides of the skillet. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Cook the Filling

  1. 2

    Cook the Meat

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Assemble the Salad

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    In each fried tortilla shell, layer the shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, and chopped onions. Top with the cooked meat and shredded cheese.

Serve

  1. 4

    Add Toppings

    Serve the taco salad with salsa and sour cream on the side for drizzling on top.
