Step 1: Prepare the Tortilla Chips

Step 2: Heat the Salsa
In a medium saucepan, heat the salsa verde or roja over medium heat until it simmers. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Combine Chips and Salsa
Once the salsa is heated, add the tortilla chips to the saucepan and gently toss to coat the chips evenly with the salsa. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the chips are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
