Step 1
Heat 1/4 inch neutral oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Working one at a time, fry each tortilla 30 seconds per side, then quickly drape it over a ladle or small bowl to form a cup. Set on paper towels.
Step 3
Warm shredded chicken with 1/4 cup salsa in the same skillet over medium for 2 minutes, stirring once.
Step 4
Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with a pinch of salt and half the lime juice.
Step 5
Fill each tortilla cup with warm chicken, then top with guacamole, sour cream, cotija, and a dollop of remaining salsa.
Step 6
Serve immediately with tortilla chips and a lime wedge on the side.
