Method

Red Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to create chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Add the tortilla wedges in batches, frying until they are crispy and golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Season the Chips

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt for flavor.

Green Salsa

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them. Chop the jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat, if desired).

  2. 6

    Blend the Salsa

    In a blender, combine tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Red Salsa

  1. 7

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the ripe tomatoes, red onion, and garlic. Rinse the cilantro and chop it coarsely.

  2. 8

    Blend the Salsa
