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).
