This was excellent, easy and light!<br/>I followed you instrucion for the tortilla shells (microwave method), used chicken, red bell peppers (instead of yellow and green) and I "lollo" salad. I didn't peel tomatoes as this is not necessary for us. I'm glad I had fresh cilantro as this combined with limes gives to this dish a fresh and tasty note.<br/>Thanks a lot for you recipe!

Yum, we really enjoyed this flavorful and colorful salad! I used the corn tortilla option - and you are right, the flavor was great with the dressing on it! I made some chicken seasoned with chili powder and cumin, then shredded and added to the mixture. Thanks for sharing! All You Can Eat Buffet Winter '12
