Chips

Queso Blanco

Pico de Gallo

Salsa Verde

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan 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, then season with salt.

Queso Blanco

  1. 2

    Make the Queso Blanco

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the white cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses with milk. Stir until melted and smooth. Add diced green chiles, garlic powder, and cumin. Stir to combine and heat through.

Pico de Gallo

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pico de Gallo

    Dice the Roma tomatoes and red onion. Chop the cilantro. In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Salsa Verde

  1. 4

    Make the Salsa Verde

    Boil the tomatillos and jalapeño in water for about 10 minutes until soft. Drain and blend with garlic, cilantro, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
