    First, make the dressing. Add all ingredients to an immersion blender and blend until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

    Next, make the tortilla crisps. Heat enough oil to fully coat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla at a time and cook for 1-2 minutes each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Finish with a pinch of salt and cut into small squares.

    In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients for the salad. Start by using 75% of the ranch and add more as needed. Season to taste and serve immediately.
