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)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to make triangular chips.

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 4

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

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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