Chips

Method

Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular pieces.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla pieces in batches, frying until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    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

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt.

  2. 6

    Mix Well

    Stir the mixture until everything is evenly coated and well combined.

  3. 7

    Let It Rest

    Allow the Pico de Gallo to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
