Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until hot.

  2. 2

    Fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

    Let cool slightly, then blend the roasted ingredients with cilantro and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Verde Salsa

  1. 6

    Make Verde Salsa

    Remove the husks from tomatillos and rinse them. Boil tomatillos in water for about 5 minutes until soft.

    Blend boiled tomatillos with garlic, onion, cilantro, serrano pepper, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Chile de Arbol Salsa

    Make Chile de Arbol Salsa

    Soak the dried chile de arbol in hot water for about 15 minutes to soften.

  2. 9

    Blend the softened chiles with garlic, tomato, onion, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Mango Habanero Salsa

  1. 10

    Make Mango Habanero Salsa
