Equipment

Ingredients

For the base:

6-8 small corn or flour tortillas
1 tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt (optional)

For the salad:

2 can (6 oz) salmon drained and flaked
1 avocado diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
1 cup roasted corn (canned or fresh, roasted on a pan or grill)
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce (or your favorite crisp lettuce)
1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

For the cilantro lime dressing:

1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped
1 small clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp honey or agave
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Score the center of the tortillas with a knife for even crisping.
6-8 small corn or flour tortillas, 1 tbsp olive oil, pinch of salt
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Let cool completely.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasonings to taste. Set aside.
1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, 1 small clove garlic, 1/2 tsp honey or agave, salt and pepper to taste
In a large bowl, toss the romaine lettuce, roasted corn, cherry tomatoes, cheese, flaked salmon, and the cilantro lime dressing. Gently fold in diced avocado to avoid squishing.
2 can (6 oz) salmon, 1 avocado, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 cup roasted corn, 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce, 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
Place a crispy tortilla on a plate. Add a generous scoop of the salmon salad mixture on top. Garnish with extra cilantro, cheese, or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Tortilla Crisping Tip: Make sure to bake the tortillas until they are golden and crisp for the perfect crunch. If you prefer extra crispiness, bake them a little longer, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Dressing Variations: Feel free to swap mayo for Greek yogurt if you prefer a lighter, tangy dressing. For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or jalapeño to the dressing.
Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the cilantro lime dressing ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the salad and tortillas separate until ready to serve to maintain crispness.
Storage: Store any leftover salad and dressing separately from the tortillas to prevent sogginess. The salad should last up to 2 days in the fridge, while the tortillas are best enjoyed immediately after baking.
