- NOTE: Dont pulse for to long as the “taco meat” will become mushy.
- Meanwhile, prepare fresh salsa or pico de gallo by chopping tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Add seasoning and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
- Prepare your salads in a jar, layering the ingredients, shown in the photo above. First being fresh pico, then “taco meat”, corn, beans, and lettuce.
- OPTIONAL: Add avocado and squeeze fresh lemon juice on top to keep from browning.
- Either plate salad or take to go.
