Step 1: Preheat oven: Set oven to 375°F and line a baking pan. Try not to forget this like I usually do.
Step 2: Make tortilla strips: Cut tortillas into strips, toss with oil and seasoning, and spread on the pan.
Step 3: Bake them: Bake for 5 minutes, shake them around, then bake another 5 minutes until crispy. Set aside and try not to eat them all immediately.
Step 4: Make dressing: Blend all dressing ingredients until smooth. Taste it. Try not to keep tasting it. Refrigerate until needed.
Step 5: Cook the meat: In a pan, cook ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Step 6: Add seasoning: Sprinkle cumin and chili powder, cook for another minute.
Step 7: Add sauce: Mix salsa and sour cream, add to the meat, and cook until everything is coated and slightly creamy.
Step 8: Prep veggies: Chop, dice, and shred all your vegetables. This is the part where I question my knife skills.
Step 9: Assemble salad: In a big bowl, toss lettuce, veggies, cheese, cooked meat, and tortilla strips.
Step 10: Serve: Top with dressing, avocado, and cilantro. Then stand there for a second like you just made something impressive.
