Lime Tortilla Chips (Learned on Alton Brown's Good Eats BEST SHOW EVER!!)
About 1/2 stack of CORN tortillas from the local store (organic if you can find it)
2 Limes - Juiced
4 Tsp Kosher Salt
2 Quarts Peanut Oil
In small mixing bowl combine the lime juice and salt. Take the 1/2 stack of corn (not flour!) tortillas and cut into quarters. Dip each piece in the lime/salt mixture and place on a drying rack. Let dry completely. Place the oil in a Dutch oven and put over medium/high heat. Using a candy thermometer, heat the oil to 365°-375° F. Once it’s hot, slip the tortilla pieces a few at a time into the hot oil and cook for 30 seconds or so. Remove and place on an upside down drying rack placed on a newspaper lined baking sheet. Repeat until done. (Thank you Alton Brown! )

In a mixing bowl combine the peeled and pitted avocados, and everything else. Use a manual potato masher and combine ingredients. Cover and place in refrigerator for about an hour before serving.
