Ingredients:
6 large Tortillas (click HERE)
Shredded cheese, Mexican blend
Cafe Rio Rice (click HERE)
Cafe Rio Black Beans (click HERE)
Cafe Rio Sweet Pork (click HERE)
Lettuce (NOT iceberg, use leafy green or Romaine)
Diced tomato, onion, and cilantro (pico de gallo) (click HERE)

Sour cream
Tortilla Strips (click HERE)
Cotija cheese, crumbled (or you can use Parmesan)

OR Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette (click HERE)
Instructions:
Here is how we put it all together:
First of all, we bought the aluminum deep-dish pans (they had these at the grocery store, you will know when you see them.. they look JUST like the Cafe Rio tins).
Lay a tortilla in the bottom of the pan, sprinkle cheese on it, and put in the oven at 375 for about 5 min or until the cheese is melted.
Remove from oven, add beans, rice, pork, then lettuce and a little scoop of diced tomato and onions (pico de gallo). Add guacamole (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) and sour cream.
Add crushed tortilla chips, a shake of Parmesan cheese (or Cotija cheese if you want to be more authentic), and top with a few cilantro leaves.
Serve with the cilantro ranch or vinaigrette dressing and there you have it! (makes about 6 salads)
