📝 Instructions

7 steps
1

Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to make triangular chips.

2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

3

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.

4

While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them generously with Tajín seasoning and drizzle with fresh lime juice.

5

In a medium bowl, mash the avocado until smooth. Stir in the sour cream, garlic powder, and salt to make a creamy avocado dip.

6

Transfer the chips to a serving platter and optionally garnish them with chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.

7

Serve the zesty tortilla chips with the avocado dip on the side, and enjoy your flavorful Mexican snacks!
