Canola (or other vegetable) oil

Favorite ground meat filling, warmed
Shredded lettuce
2 avocados, coarsely chopped
2 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1 c. Cheddar cheese, grated

Heat about 1 in. of canola (or other vegetable) oil in a skillet until it is very hot but not smoking. Fry the tortillas in the oil until crisp, keeping them as flat as possible.
