directions

To prepare Flour Tortilla Bowls, pour salad oil into a large frying pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat to 375 degrees F. Fry flour tortillas one at a time for about 45 seconds each, turning carefully with 2 spatulas until bubbly and just golden but still flexible.

Remove to a metal colander or wire strainer lined with paper towels and gently form into a bowl shape. When cool, remove and set aside. Repeat for remaining tortillas.

To prepare Garlic Dressing, combine lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin and garlic in a small bowl. Using a whisk or fork, gradually beat in oil.

To prepare Avocado Mixture, mash with lime juice until mixture is soft but still chunky. Lightly mix in onion, cilantro, salt, hot pepper sauce and pepper.
