Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to form chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tortilla wedges in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle salt over them to taste.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes and red onion, chop the fresh cilantro, and finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).

  2. 6

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 7

    Add Seasoning

    Pour in lime juice, and add salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 8

    Chill the Salsa

    Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
