Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla wedges in batches until they are golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salsa

    Dice the tomatoes and red onion, and finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat). In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Serve

    Serve the freshly made chips with the salsa on the side for dipping.
