Salsa made at home along with homemade tortilla chips just taste better! It’s all so easy and doesn’t take a lot of time at all!
HOMEMADE SALSA
What You Need:
3 decent sized Roma tomatoes
2-3 Serrano peppers (1 for a mild flavor. And make sure it’s Serrano. Jalapeño will give a different flavor.)
5-8 garlic cloves (not jarred minced garlic)
1/4 of a large white onion
Salt for seasoning
A generous handful of fresh cilantro
Steps:
1. In a small medium pot bring the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and peppers to a boil. Simmer until very soft. The skins will begin to peel.
2. Once the veggies are soft place them in a medium sized mixing bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of the water the veggies were boiling in.
3. Sprinkle with salt and add handful of fresh cilantro. Mix with a blender. Taste and add more salt or cilantro if needed. A squeeze of lime can be added, that’s optional.
HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS
What you need:
Vegetable oil
Sea salt
Corn tortillas
Steps:
1. Stack 7 Corn tortilla on top of each other. Cut the stacked tortillas vertically and then horizontally. Giving you 28 corn tortilla triangles.
2. Heat your skillet to a medium heat with 1/2 inch of vegetable oil.
3. Once oil is heated (it will begin to sizzle and bubble a little) begin adding the tortillas into the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides. (Use to tongs to flip)
4. Place finished tortilla chips on a plate with paper towels to soak the excess oil. Sprinkle with sea salt right away. Allow to cool.
Enjoy!
