3Heat oil over medium-high heat until very hot. In the meantime, prepare lettuce, tomato, and avacado; stir about 1/4 tsp of lime zest into sour cream and add enough lime juice to thin sour cream into a "pourable" consistancy; and line a plate with a few paper towels. Test oil by placing a small edge of a tortilla into oil; if it bubbles rapidly, the oil is hot enough.Once oil is ready, dip a tortilla into the oil using a pair of tongs, and holding it into the oil, let it cook until lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip tortilla over and fry on the other side.
