Chips

Method

Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Tortillas

    Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season the Chips

    Sprinkle the fried chips with salt while they are still hot. Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla wedges.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 7

    Add Lime Juice

    Squeeze the juice of the lime over the salsa mixture and stir well to combine.

  4. 8

    Season the Salsa

    Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing until evenly distributed.

  5. 9

    Let it Rest

    Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
