Instructions
Pico de Gallo
- Using your hand, mix the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, cilantro and lime juice in a large bowl. Gently crush as you mix to release the juices. This salsa tastes best when prepared a few hours before you are ready to eat it (overnight works well).
Avocado Creme Sauce
- In a food processor mix the avocado, jalapeño, garlic, olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, and water until you have a smooth creamy mixture.
Ground Meat
- In a large bowl, mix together the meat, soy sauce, onion, garlic, and seasonings until the mixture is homogeneous. (start toasting your chips now if you like warm chips)
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the meat, Break up the meat as cook it. Continue cooking the meat until all the liquid has evaporated, and the meat makes a popping sound in the pan.
Put it all together
- Create a layer of chips on your plate, add a layer of ground meat and your favorite greens. Dollop the avocado cream sauce around the dish. Top with the pico de gallo, olives, sliced jalapeños and fresh onions.
- Enjoy while warm!
