Method

Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Preparation of Tortilla Chips

    Begin by cutting the corn tortillas into triangles to form chips.

  2. 2

    Frying the Chips

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Draining the Chips

    Remove the chips using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa Verde

  1. 4

    Roasting the Tomatillos and Jalapeño

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place tomatillos and jalapeño on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until charred.

  2. 5

    Making Salsa Verde

    In a blender, combine roasted tomatillos, jalapeño, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Roasted Chipotle Salsa

  1. 6

    Roasting the Ingredients

    In a skillet, roast tomatoes, chopped onion, and garlic over medium heat until they are slightly charred, about 10 minutes.

  2. 7

    Blending the Salsa

    In a blender, combine the roasted ingredients with chipotle peppers, lime juice, and salt. Blend until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Habanero Salsa

  1. 8

    Preparing the Ingredients

    Chop the habanero pepper (remove seeds if less heat is desired) and tomatoes, and mince the garlic.

  2. 9

    Making Habanero Salsa

    In a blender, combine chopped habanero, tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning if needed.
