Chips

Method

Chips

1

Prepare the tortillas

Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles to create chips.

2

Heat the oil

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

3

Fry the chips

Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

4

Drain and season

Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

Salsa

5

Chop the tomatoes

Dice the fresh tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

6

Prepare the onion

Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.

7

Add cilantro

Rinse and chop the fresh cilantro, then mix it into the bowl.

8

Include jalapeño

Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat (or leave them in for more), finely chop, and add to the mixture.

9

Mix in lime juice and salt

Pour lime juice over the salsa and sprinkle with salt. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients.
