a Half."

Treasure Tip: For an impressive presentation, serve this salad in flour
tortilla shells. Brush both sides of 12- or 16-inch flour tortillas with
melted butter. Press them into small ovenproof bowls; toast 5 to 8 minutes
in a 375~ oven. Unmold the tortillas; place them directly on the oven rack
until they are crisp and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
