  • FOR CHIPS:

Instructions
 

  • Unless you have a really large food processor, you should prepare this in 2 smaller batches.
  • Combine all salsa ingredients in a blender or food processor.
  • Run until you get the consistency of salsa you like.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least 1 hour before using.
  • To make the chips, cut each tortilla into 6 pieces.
  • Put the oil in a heavy skillet about 1/4" depth.
  • Heat oil over medium high.
  • In batches, cook the tortilla chips for about 2 minutes or until the start to turn brown.
  • Remove and drain on a paper towel covered plate.
  • Sprinkle with salt.
  • If you want to reduce the oil, you can also bake chips on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes (turning halfway through).
