Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles to form chips.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chips

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Queso

  1. 3

    Melt the Cheeses

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the Velveeta cheese and cream cheese. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

  2. 4

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies, milk, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Assemble

  1. 5

    Serve the Dish

    In a serving bowl, pour the queso cheese mixture. Top with chicken tinga or ground beef, pico de gallo, and black beans. Serve with the freshly made tortilla chips.
