Chips
Pico de Gallo
Method
Chips Preparation
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular pieces.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla pieces in batches, frying until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Drain and Cool
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.
Pico de Gallo Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt.
Mix Well
Stir the mixture until everything is evenly coated and well combined.
Let It Rest
Allow the Pico de Gallo to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
