heat oven to 350° and line a small sheet pan with parchment paper
make tortilla croutons: brush both sides of tortillas with 1/2 tsp of the avocado oil, then sprinkle evenly with taco seasoning and salt, then bake for 10-12 minutes until crisp; break into pieces when cool
make salad: combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl and set aside *(using only half of the chopped avocado)
make avocado crema dressing: pureé the remaining half of avocado and all dressing ingredients in a blender or food processor, thinning with water as needed to reach a drizzling consistency, then season to taste with salt and pepper; you may want to double recipe if you like a lot of dressing
to assemble, toss salad with desired amount of dressing, then top with tortilla croutons
