Instructions

• Here is how we put it all together: First of all, we bought the aluminum deep-dish pans (they had these at the grocery store, you will know when you see them.. they look JUST like the Cafe Rio tins). Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle cheese on it, and put in the oven at 375 for about 5 min or until the cheese is melted. Remove from oven, add beans, rice, pork, then lettuce and a little scoop of diced tomato and onions (pico de gallo). Add guacamole (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and sour cream. Add crushed tortilla chips, a shake of Parmesan cheese, and top with a few cilantro leaves. Serve with the cilantro ranch or vinaigrette dressing and there you have it! (makes about 6 salads)

This is SOOO yummy. I didn't follow it exactly, and it still turned out great. Instead of coke, I used sparkling water and brown sugar. I didn't do the tortillas, tortilla strips (just used chips), the rice, or the vinaigrette. I also just used avocado instead of the guac, and didn't use the cotija or parmesan, or sour cream. I also sauteed some sliced onions and frozen corn, mmmm. Oh, and I used way less tomato juice in the beans.
