Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Salsa

    In a blender, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth or to desired consistency. Stir in chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

  2. 2

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Cut corn tortillas into triangles. Once oil is hot, fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.
