Tortilla Chips with Queso Oaxaca and Crema

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortilla Chips

    Begin by cutting the corn tortillas into triangles. You can stack a few tortillas at a time for efficiency.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Melt the Queso Oaxaca

    In a small saucepan over low heat, add the queso Oaxaca cheese and stir occasionally until melted and smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat once fully melted.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Radish and Onion

    While the cheese is melting, thinly slice the radishes and the red onion. Set them aside in separate bowls.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the tortilla chips. Drizzle the melted queso Oaxaca over the chips, followed by dollops of crema. Top with slices of radish, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately while the chips are warm and crispy. Enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack!
