Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300º F. Cut 4 Grain Free Almond Flour Tortillas into 1’’ long thin strips (1 inch by 1/4 inch). Combine taco seasoning with avocado oil.
Step 2

Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss strips gently in taco seasoning paste and spread evenly over the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until tortillas are crisp. Toss strips halfway to avoid seasoning from darkening.
Step 3

Combine all ingredients for dressing in a blender. Combine half of the caesar dressing in a bowl with kale and mix thoroughly. ⁠
Step 4

Top tossed kale with crispy tortilla strips. Garnish with golden raisins, jalapeños, apples, and seeds. Drizzle extra dressing over salad to serve. ⁠
