-------- ------------ --------------------------------
for strawberry salsa:
1 fresh serrano or jalapeno chili
1 cup finely chopped strawberries
1 cup finely chopped white onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar if desired
three 5-inch corn tortillas
vegetable oil for frying
1 firm-ripe avocado
two 8 ounce grilled chicken breasts
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.
Stack tortillas and cut them in half. Cut stacks crosswise into
1/2-inch-thick strips and in a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil over
moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Working in two 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.
Halve the avocado, removing the pit, and peel. Slice each half
lengthwise into 6 wedges. Slice chicken into 6 wedges and fan ,with
the avocado, onto 2 plates.
Spoon about 1/2 cup strawberry salsa over each fan and mound crispy
tortilla strips alongside.
