CABANA SALSA

HOUSE-MADE CORN CHIPS

Method

CABANA SALSA

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, and minced jalapeño. Stir in chopped cilantro.

  2. 2

    Seasoning and citrus

    Pour in lime juice and minced garlic; toss to coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Season to taste

    Season with salt. Taste and adjust heat or acidity if desired. Let the salsa rest 10-15 minutes to meld flavors.

CABANA GUACAMOLE

  1. 4

    Slice and scoop the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture.

  2. 5

    Add aromatics

    Stir in red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and garlic (if using).

  3. 6

    Finish with citrus and salt

    Drizzle lime juice, mix well, add diced tomato (if using), and season with salt. Adjust to taste.

HOUSE-MADE CORN CHIPS

  1. 7

    Make the dough

    In a bowl, whisk masa harina and salt. Add warm water and oil gradually, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 8

    Rest and portion

    Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Divide into 8-10 portions and roll each into a 6-7 inch circle or press with a tortilla press to 1/8 inch thickness.

  3. 9

    Cut and bake

    Cut circles into triangles. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush chips with oil, arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer, and bake 10-15 minutes, flipping once, until crisp and golden.

  4. 10

    Cool and serve

    Cool chips slightly on a rack before serving with prepared salsa and guacamole.
