Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1 - fresh serrano or jalapeno chili
- 1 cups - finely chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cups - finely chopped white onion
- 2 tablespoons - finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoons - fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoons - salt
- 2 - firm ripe avocados
- 6 - 5-inch corn tortillas
- - vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
1. To make salsa, wearing rubber gloves, remove stems, seeds and ribs from chili and chop fine. In a bowl stir together chili and remaining salsa ingredients. Salsa may be made several hours ahead and chilled, covered.
2. Stack tortillas and cut them in half. Cut stacks crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips and in a heavy skillet heat 1/2-inch oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in three batches, fry tortilla strips until crisp and golden, about 30 seconds, and with a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle fried tortilla strips with salt to taste.
3. Halve avocados, removing pits and peel. Slice each half lengthwise into 6 wedges and fan out onto 4 salad plates.
4. Spoon about 1/3 cup strawberry salsa over each avocado fan and mound crispy tortilla strips alongside.
