Thoroughly combine the cumin and the salt in a small bowl.  
Heat 3/4" of the oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer in a large, heavy

Fry the tortilla wedges in batches for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until they are crisp  
and most of the bubbling subsides.

Sprinkle the warm chips with the cumin mixture.  
The cumin tortilla chips may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight  
container.  
Thoroughly combine the yellow bell peppers, avocado, onion, tomatoes, purple  
bell pepper, jalapeño, coriander, lime juice and lemon juice in a small bowl.  
Chill the salsa, with its surface covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour and  
up to 6 hours.  
Transfer the salsa to serving bowls and serve it with the chips.
