A vibrant and flavorful salad combining Tex-Mex inspired ingredients for a delightful meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the ground turkey and diced onion until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
Use a wooden spoon to break up the turkey into small pieces for even cooking.
Add the taco seasoning to the skillet and stir well to coat the turkey and onion mixture evenly.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, slicing the cucumber, and cutting the bell pepper into strips.
Keep the vegetables chilled until ready to serve for maximum freshness.
On individual serving plates, layer the crushed tortilla chips as a base.
Lightly crush the chips to create a textured base for the salad.
Spoon the turkey mixture over the tortilla chips, then top with the prepared vegetables, shredded cheese, and sliced olives.
Arrange the toppings evenly for a visually appealing presentation.
Finish with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of salsa on each plate.
Serve immediately to enjoy the crispness of the chips and freshness of the vegetables.
