Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large ripe tomatoes
• 1 small Red onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground paprika (optional, for chips)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to make chips. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 3

Brush the tortilla triangles lightly with olive oil on both sides. Sprinkle them with a touch of salt and paprika (if using) for extra flavor.

Step 4

Bake the tortilla chips in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crisp and golden brown. Remove and let them cool.

Step 5

While the chips bake, prepare the salsa. Start by dicing the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper into small, even pieces. Remove seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

Step 6

Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 7

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.

Step 8

Add the lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 9

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper.

Step 10

Serve the baked tortilla chips alongside the freshly made salsa. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor!
