1
bag (16 oz) classic iceberg lettuce mix
1
package (9 oz) frozen cooked chicken breast strips, thawed
1
package (9 oz) frozen cooked seasoned beef strips, thawed
1
container (12 oz) refrigerated guacamole
1
large bell pepper, cut into strips
1
small onion, sliced
2
cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
1 1/2
cups sour cream
4
large plum (Roma) tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 In 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, layer lettuce, chicken and beef; press lightly. Layer guacamole, bell pepper, onion and 1 cup of the cheese over beef. Spread sour cream over cheese. Sprinkle with tomatoes and remaining 1 cup cheese.
  • 2 Cover; refrigerate about 2 hours to blend flavors.

Expert Tips

You can use all chicken or all beef strips if you prefer. And Monterey Jack or taco-seasoned cheese blend can be used instead of Cheddar cheese.

Using refrigerated guacamole mixtures has a bonus: they won't turn dark like freshly made guacamole can. Most brands come in both regular and spicy flavors.

Tortillas chips add a nice touch to this Tex-Mex adaptation of the classic layered salad.

Easy, quick, and tastes great! I also sprinkled sliced black olives on the top. Leftovers do not store well overnight - so this recipe is not something you'd want to make ahead.
