Tortilla Chips Recipe

Prepare Tortillas

Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to form chips.

Heat Oil

In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Chips

Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil, frying them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.

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 excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.

Chop Ingredients

Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, jalapeño (removing seeds if desired), and cilantro.

Mix Salsa

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice. Add salt to taste and mix well. Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes for flavors to meld.

Prepare Avocados

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.

Mash and Mix

Using a fork, mash the avocados until smooth. Add lime juice, salt, garlic powder, chopped cilantro, and diced tomato. Mix until well combined.
