Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to create chip shapes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds if you prefer less heat).

  2. 6

    Mix the Salsa

    In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Add Lime Juice and Season

    Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Toss everything together until well combined.

  4. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Let the salsa sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving with the tortilla chips.
