Salsa

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to create 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, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Place the fried chips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Finely chop the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic.

  2. 6

    Mix the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and garlic.

  3. 7

    Add Lime Juice

    Drizzle the lime juice over the salsa mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the salsa and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors. Serve with the homemade chips.
