Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into six triangles to create chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro into small pieces.

  2. 6

    Mix the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  3. 7

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.

  4. 8

    Chill

    Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
