- Next put in the corn followed by black beans. If making this a vegetarian taco salad, then skip to step 5.

- Lastly add the tortillas strips on top of the lettuce. Place lid on the mason jar and refrigerate until ready to eat.
- Once ready to eat, just dump everything into a bowl and give a quick toss. You could eat straight from the jar, but I prefer to use a separate bowl.
