INSTRUCTIONS
Heat 5 cups corn oil to 325 degrees in a deep fryer or high-sided saucepan.
When hot, add half of the tortilla strips. Stirring constantly, fry for 35
seconds or until crisp. Do not overcook or tortillas will lose their color
and burn. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
In a large bowl combine beans, jicama, bell peppers, 3 tablespoons corn
oil, lime juice, cilantro and chilies; season to taste with salt and toss
to mix. Gently toss in tortilla threads, being careful not to break them
but making sure they are well coated with dressing. Serve immediately.
* Red and blue corn tortillas may be found at Mexican markets or specialty
food stores

We cannot become who we need to be by remaining who we are.
A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
