Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chips

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular pieces and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla pieces in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salsa

    In a medium bowl, combine chopped tomatoes, finely diced onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, diced jalapeño, and salt. Mix well and let it sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
