To avoid dirt and insects becoming stuck, remove the lettuce’s bottom and wash the leaves. Dry with cloths or a salad spinner.
Make fine cuts in the lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, and avocado.
Rinse the black beans and frozen corn—frozen corn doesn’t need to be cooked! Simply place in a bowl of warm water, drain, and repeat!) Set aside all the beans and vegetables.
