Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Adobo seasoning
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 8 ounces Goat cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Whole milk
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Cut the corn tortillas into 6 wedges each to make chip-sized pieces.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or shallow pot over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Fry the tortilla wedges in batches until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
While still hot, sprinkle the fried chips evenly with adobo seasoning and a pinch of salt. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the softened goat cheese with the whole milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and warm, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the cilantro salsa, combine the chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, diced tomato, red onion, lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Serve the adobo chips on a platter alongside a small bowl of the warm goat cheese and a dish of the cilantro salsa for dipping. Enjoy immediately while everything is fresh and warm!
