Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chips

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the tortilla chips with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss until the chips are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Spread the coated tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Once baked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Salsa

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salsa

    While the chips are baking, prepare the salsa.

  2. 7

    In a medium bowl, chop the tomatoes into small cubes and add to the bowl.

  3. 8

    Finely chop the red onion and cilantro, and add them to the tomatoes.

  4. 9

    Remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper, finely chop it, and add to the mixture.

  5. 10

    Add lime juice and salt to the bowl, and mix everything together until well combined.

  6. 11

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside to let the flavors meld while the chips finish baking.
