Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Fry the chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

  4. 4

    Season the chips

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

Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the ingredients

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Finely chop the cilantro.

  2. 6

    Mix the salsa

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

  3. 7

    Season the salsa

    Add lime juice and salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  4. 8

    Chill and serve

    Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with the freshly made tortilla chips.
