Chips

Salsa

Method

Chips Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into equal-sized triangles or strips.

  2. 2

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry Chips

    Carefully drop the tortilla pieces into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. While they are still warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Ingredients

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Finely chop the cilantro.

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  3. 7

    Season Salsa

    Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture. Add salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  4. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the salsa and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
