The garnish of crisply fried tortilla makes a huge impact on this dish. Remember a few words of caution when frying anything in hot oil. Do not fill the pot more than halfway up the sides with oil. As oil boils it will bubble up to the top of the pan. Add the food you are frying to the pot at the farthest point away from you. Use a splatter cover to reduce splashing. And NEVER - EVER leave hot oil unattended or within the reach of children!
If Mexican inspired dishes are on your mind, take a look at the recipe for Shrimp, Roasted Corn and Jalapeno Cheese Quesadilla.
