Steps:
- Combine water, teriyaki sauce, lime juice, garlic, liquid smoke, salt, ginger, and tequila in a medium nonporous glass bowl and mix all together. Add chicken and turn to coat; cover bowl and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the Mexi-Ranch Dressing: mix mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, tomato, peppers, onion, parsley, hot pepper sauce, salt, dill weed, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, chili powder, and ground black pepper in a medium bowl and mix well until smooth. Cover bowl and chill until needed.
- Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler, or preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove chicken from marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Grill or broil chicken for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Arrange cooked chicken in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread a layer of Mexi-Ranch dressing over each piece of chicken, followed by 1/4 cup of cheese blend. Broil in preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or just until cheese has melted.
- Spread a bed of about 1/2 cup crumbled corn chips or tortilla strips on each of 4 plates. Slide a chicken breast onto the chips on each plate and serve.

Tips:
- To ensure the wings are crispy, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning and baking.
- For a bolder flavor, marinate the wings in the tequila-lime mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have a grill, you can broil the wings in the oven. Just make sure to keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
- When making the avocado crema, be sure to use ripe avocados. This will give the crema a smooth and creamy texture.
- For a spicier crema, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño.
- Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing.

These tequila-lime chicken wings with spicy avocado crema are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The wings are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the avocado crema is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or get-together.
