Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salsa

    Finely chop the ripe tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper (seeds removed for less heat), and cilantro. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ingredients. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
