Corn Chips

Salsa

Method

Corn Chips

  1. 1

    Prep the Tortillas

    Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangle-shaped pieces to create chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Place the fried chips on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa

  1. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper finely. Remove seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

  2. 6

    Mix the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

  3. 7

    Season the Salsa

    Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 8

    Let it Rest

    Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
