Summer Salsa and Tortilla Chips
- 3 tomatoes
- 2 yellow tomatoes
- 1 yellow onion
- 3 peeled garlic cloves
- 12 cup cilantro leaf (stems removed)
- 1 small green pepper
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 1 hot pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 12 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 10 corn or 10 flour tortillas
- corn oil (for deep frying)
- Dice all tomatoes and set aside to drain in a wire colander.
- Finely chop onion and bell peppers, and place in large serving bowl.
- Remove seeds from hot pepper, slice and place in food processor along with cilantro and garlic cloves; chop in processor till finely ground (but not pureed), and place into serving bowl with onions and bell peppers.
- Add drained tomatoes, and all other remaining ingredients (except tortillas and oil) to serving bowl.
- Blend well and set aside in fridge.
- Heat oil over high heat in a heavy pan (I use a cast iron skillet).
- Quarter tortilla shells, and carefully add a few at a time to hot oil .
- Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until very crisp.
- Promptly remove and place in a paper towel lined container to drain excess oil.
- This is best when served while chips are still warm, however, the salsa is even better the next day (if there's any left!
