Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to form the chips.

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Add the tortilla triangles in batches, frying them until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season

    While still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa

    Dice the tomatoes and onion finely. Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño, then dice it.

  2. 6

    Mix the Salsa

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

  3. 7

    Add Lime Juice and Salt

    Pour lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine.

  4. 8

    Chill

    Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
