Personal Notes:
Salty Lime chips: Heat 1/4 c. avocado oil or olive oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add half a handful of thinly sliced corn tortilla strips. Fry 1 minute, then toss and fry another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain on a paper towel lined plate. Sprinkle with lime zest and flaky sea salt. Repeat until you've fried 5-8 corn tortillas.
