Tortilla salad
Delicious tortilla salad recipe with fresh greens, crispy veggies, zesty dressing, and crunchy tortilla strips. Perfect combination of flavors and textures!
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 small fresh red chile pepper, seeded and minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
- Six 8-inch corn or flour tortillas, quartered
- 6 cups baby salad greens
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 450g cooked shrimp or smoked chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1/4 cup mild goat cheese, such as Montrachet
Instructions:
- Mix the lime juice, chile, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small bowl.
- Heat 1/8 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until it is almost smoking. Add tortilla quarters without overlapping and fry until they are crispy and golden, around 2 minutes on each side. Place the chips on paper towels to remove excess oil and repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
- Combine the greens with 1 1/2 tablespoons of dressing in a large bowl. Place the greens on a big platter. In the same bowl, mix mango, black beans, onion, and 3 tablespoons of dressing, then spread them over the greens. Place the shrimp on top, followed by crumbling the cheese over the salad. Surround the platter with tortilla chips for scooping and serve.
