Tortilla Chips

Method

Tortilla Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles or strips.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

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

Guacamole Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Avocados

    Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

  2. 5

    Mash the Avocados

    Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the avocado until smooth or leave it slightly chunky, depending on your preference.

  3. 6

    Mix in Other Ingredients

    Add lime juice, diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, and salt to taste. Mix well until combined.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced Roma tomatoes, diced red onion, diced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.

  2. 8

    Mix and Serve

    Stir the mixture gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
