When you think of tacos, you probably picture a tortilla wrapped around savory fillings, but there is another way to enjoy all the flavors you love with a little extra crunch, a little extra height, and a lot of extra flair. This is where the taco salad shine, it is a dish that is as satisfying as it is looks. Today Eddie’s Mexican Restaurant, we would like to share why we take taco salads seriously, turning them into a colorful, flavorful masterpiece that’s both a meal and an experience.
The Crispy Tortilla Bowl
The foundation of a truly great taco salad is the light crisp flour tortilla bowl. Golden and perfectly fried, it is sturdy enough to hold all the delicious fillings while still being light and flaky when you break off a piece for a bite. Think of it as both a serving dish and part of the meal because nothing goes to waste when your bowl is edible! Without that crispy tortilla bowl would not have the right experience.
Choose Your Protein
The beauty of a taco salad is in its flexibility. The protein you have in your taco salad is up to you. You can choose from poultry, seafood or beef. Some of the more protein you will find in restaurants are:
• Seasoned ground beef for a classic, hearty flavor.
• Tender shredded beef for a rich, slow-cooked taste.
• Juicy shredded chicken for a lighter, savory option.
At Eddie’s Mexican Restaurant, each choice is cooked with authentic Mexican seasonings to bring out bold, satisfying flavors.
Toppings that Steal the Show
The additional magic of a taco salad is in the layers. In a taco salad you will find creamy guacamole for richness and a fresh avocado kick. Along with Cool sour cream to balance the spices and juicy diced tomatoes for a refreshing bite. You cannot forget the shredded cheese that melts ever so slightly over the warm meat and complete most Mexican dishes! Every bite is a mix of crunchy, creamy, fresh, and savory a wide range of flavors and textures in one forkful.
