Tortilla strips can usually be found in grocery stores near the salad dressings or in the produce department. If you can't find them, substitute coarsely crushed tortilla chips or you can make your own tortilla strips. To make your own, heat oven to 375°F. Place 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in small dish; stir in 2 to 3 drops red or green food color (or color of your choice). Brush oil mixture over tortillas, working the brush until color is even. Using pizza cutter, cut tortillas into thin strips. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 8 minutes, stirring once, until crisp.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
