Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels, then season with salt.

  3. 3

    Make the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, finely chopped onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the crispy chips alongside the fresh salsa for dipping.
