Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Cut each corn tortilla into six triangles. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat if desired). Chop the cilantro finely and add it to the bowl. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning as necessary.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chips warm alongside the fresh salsa in a bowl.
