Tortilla strips:
Preheat oven to 375˚. Slice tortillas into strips (about 1/4" wide). Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Set aside until cool.
Dressing:
In a small bowl, stir together Greek yogurt, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, and apple cider vinegar. Slowly whisk in olive oil to emulsify, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
