Tortilla Chips

Daily Hummus

Salsa

Method

Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare Tortilla Chips

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    Add tortilla wedges in batches and fry until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Queso

  1. 3

    Melt the Cheeses

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine Velveeta cheese and cream cheese. Stir continuously until melted and smooth.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes with chilies, jalapeños, cumin, and salt. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.

Daily Hummus

  1. 5

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, tahini, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Salsa

  1. 7

    Prepare Salsa Options

    Choose your desired salsa option: pico de gallo, corn salsa, or mild salsa. Serve in small bowls.
