Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Tajín seasoning (or chili-lime powder)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 medium Avocado
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to make triangular chips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Fry the tortilla pieces in batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Remove them using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them generously with Tajín seasoning and drizzle with fresh lime juice.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, and salt to make a creamy avocado dip.
Transfer the chips to a serving platter and optionally garnish them with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
Serve the zesty tortilla chips with the avocado dip on the side, and enjoy your flavorful Mexican snacks!
