Crispy Tortilla Salad With Snap Peas and Avocado

A twist on fattoush, the classic Levantine salad that stars pita chips, this version uses crispy fried tortilla strips dusted in chile powder instead. In place of tomatoes, you’ll find crunchy snap peas. The dressing gets a riff as well, made creamy with avocado and bright from lime juice and a pinch of ground cumin. Freshly fried tortilla strips are thicker and cornier (in a good way!) than store-bought tortilla chips, bringing heft and deeper flavor to the salad, but you can use bagged for an even quicker sprint to the dinner finish line if you so desire.
