Method

Salsa Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and garlic cloves into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, and minced garlic.

  3. 3

    Add Flavorings

    Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as per your preference.

  5. 5

    Chill the Salsa

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chips Preparation

  1. 6

    Heat Oil

    In a large frying pan or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  2. 7

    Fry Tortillas

    Using tongs, carefully add one corn tortilla at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 30 seconds on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 8

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once fried, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  4. 9

    Season Chips

    While the chips are still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Serve the freshly made chips alongside the chilled red salsa for dipping.
