Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • ¼ to ½ cup avocado or vegetable oil (for frying)

  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
  • Pickled red onions (optional)

Instructions

  • Make Pickled Onions: Thinly slice red onion and soak in vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Notes
