   4      tablespoons   Red wine vinegar
     1/4  teaspoon      Black pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      Garlic powder
   4      teaspoons     Lemon juice
   1      teaspoon      Powdered mustard

Toast the tortillas on a baking sheet in a 400 F oven for about 10 min.
 While hot, sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese.  Cool and break into bite-size pieces.

 Chop the lettuce and arrange it in the bottom of a salad bowl. 
 Make the cumin dressing by combining the salt, vinegar, pepper,
 garlic powder, lemon juice, mustard, cumin, water and oil in a bowl or jar.
Heat the turkey in a skillet with the cumin seeds.  
Sprinkle chunks of turkey over the lettuce. Add the tomato pieces and cheese. 
 Pour on the cumin dressing and top with tortilla chips.
