Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to form chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the chips

    Once the oil is hot, add a handful of tortilla wedges to the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

  4. 4

    Season the chips

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

Queso

  1. 5

    Combine the ingredients

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, diced tomatoes with green chilies, jalapeño peppers, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, and black pepper.

  2. 6

    Melt the cheese

    Stir the mixture continuously until the cheeses are melted and the ingredients are well combined, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Add cilantro

    Once the queso is smooth and creamy, stir in the chopped cilantro.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve warm with the freshly made tortilla chips.
