Ingredients
4 ripe tomatoes or 4 plum tomatoes, cored and roughly chopped
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons)
1 jalapeno (or to taste), minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Tortilla Chips, recipe follows
Tortilla Chips
Vegetable oil for frying
Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas (preferably white)
Fine salt
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, coriander. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 1 hour. Serve with Tortilla Chips.
Tortilla Chips
- Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of about 2 inches. Place a deep-frying thermometer in the pot. Heat the oil over medium heat to 360 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, stack the tortillas, and cut the pile into sixths to make chips.
- Raise the heat to high. Working in batches, fry the chips, turning them with a skimmer or slotted spoon, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chips to a paper towel-lined pan to drain. (Return the oil to the proper temperature between batches.) Cool and season with salt. Serve.
