Method

Chips

1

Prepare the Corn Tortillas

Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to form chips.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

3

Fry the Chips

Carefully add the tortilla wedges in batches to the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

4

Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa

5

Chop the Ingredients

Dice the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if desired), and chop the cilantro finely.

6

Mix the Salsa

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add salt to taste.

7

Let it Rest

Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
