GUACAMOLE WITH CUMIN-DUSTED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Make the chips: Heat 2 inches peanut oil to 360 degrees F in a high-sided skillet. Fry the tortillas in batches until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season immediately with cumin and salt.
• Make the guacamole: Combine the avocados, red onion, jalapeno, lime juice and cilantro in a bowl and gently mix to a chunky consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the cumin tortilla chips.

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP V

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, cook and stir chicken in the oil for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and mix well. Then add the broth, corn, onion, chili powder, lemon juice, and salsa. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Break up some tortilla chips into individual bowls and pour soup over chips. Top with the Monterey Jack cheese and a little sour cream.

CUMIN TORTILLA CRISPS

Steps:

• Arrange the tortilla strips in one layer on 2 jelly-roll pans, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them stand for 1 hour. In a small bowl stir together the oil, the cumin, and salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the mixture over the strips, and toss the strips to coat them with it. Bake the strips in a preheated 425°F. oven, shaking the pans occasionally and switching the pans once, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Transfer the crisps to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with the salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
