MEXICAN TOPOPO SALAD

Steps:

  • 1. Mix salad ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • 2. In a small bowl, mix vinaigrette dressing.
  • 3. Add a small amount of vinaigrette, no more than 1/4 cup, to salad mixture. Use just enough to hold it together and mix to coat.
  • 4. Make a salad base! On a large plate, place a hearty layer of tortilla chips. Warm refried beans and layer evenly over chips. Top with cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese and set under the broiler to melt. Top melted cheese with guacamole and spread evenly, and then spread a cup of salsa on top.
  • 5. Time to put the salad together! A true Topopo is presented with the salad on top of the nacho base in a pyramid, like a volcano. Begin piling your salad mixture on top of the nachos to cover completely, gradually adding less and less as you build upwards to form a pyramid.
  • 6. Serve with additional chips and salsa on the side.
