Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, creating chip shapes.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid crowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain the Chips

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they're still hot.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and chop the cilantro finely.

  2. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.

  3. 7

    Season the Salsa

    Add lime juice, salt, and garlic powder to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

  4. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with the freshly made tortilla chips.
