This hearty, main course salad has everything we love about tacos, including the creamy avocado, the crunchy tortilla chips, and the punch of salsa. We opted for salsa verde, but a tomato-based salsa would also work well here. There's a little cooking involved, and then the rest of the meal comes together purely as an assembly project. It's the kind of dinner you can have prepped and ready for action in the fridge, and then pull together in just a few minutes when you get home. To bump up the heat, add some thinly sliced fresh jalapeño or serrano pepper on top.
