PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) . Drape each tortilla over a ramekin or small oven-proof bowl and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until crisp. Cool completely.
- Meanwhile, stir the sour cream with the salsa and cumin. Toss this mixture with lettuce, tuna, tomato, corn, green onion and avocado (if using).
- Divide the salad mixture between the four toasted cups and sprinkle with cheese (if using) . Makes 4 servings.
Tips:
- For brown-baggers, pack the dressing and salad ingredients in separate containers to toss at lunch.
- As an alternative to the tortilla cup; roll up and slice a whole-wheat tortilla into strips. Toast on a baking sheet and sprinkle over the salad instead.
