Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 medium pieces Tomatoes
- 1 medium piece Red onion
- 0.5 cup Cilantro (fresh)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 piece Lime
- 1 piece Jalapeño
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the tortilla chips: Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular wedges using a sharp knife.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
3. Working in small batches, carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry for 1-2 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden and crispy.
4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried tortilla chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle immediately with 1 teaspoon of salt.
5. Prepare the salsa dip: Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño into small pieces. Mince the garlic and finely chop the cilantro.
6. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.
7. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, then mix well to combine.
8. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. For a smoother texture, blend the salsa lightly in a food processor or blender.
9. Serve the tortilla chips warm or at room temperature with the freshly made salsa dip on the side.
