Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium-size skillet, add ¼-inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add corn tortilla strips, a few at a time, and fry until crisp, about 45 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a double layer of paper towels to drain.

  2. Step 2

    Combine fried corn tortilla strips with remaining ingredients except salt in a large bowl. Refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Season dressing with salt. Grease a casserole dish and add dressing. Cover and bake 45 minutes. Serve warm.

I have made this dish for Thanksgiving for at least the past 15 years. It is always a winner. I add Spanish chorizo and cilantro to enhance the flavors but it is great without them too. You can use store bought tortilla chips but making them yourself adds more crunch.
