Preparation

Chips Preparation

1. Cut the Tortillas

Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles or strips, depending on your preference.

2. Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.

3. Fry the Chips

Carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

4. Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

Salsa Preparation

5. Prepare the Vegetables

Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

6. Combine Ingredients

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

7. Season the Salsa

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine.

8. Let it Marinate

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