Homemade Salsa And Tortilla Chips Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together Fuji apple, strawberries, kiwis, bananas, lime juice, white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover and chill in the refrigerator approximately 20 minutes.
• Heat oil in a medium heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Slice flour tortillas into triangles. Carefully place tortilla triangles into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Place white sugar and cinnamon in a large ziplock plastic bag. Drop fried tortilla triangles into the bag and shake to coat.
• Serve the cinnamon chips warm with the chilled fruit salsa.

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

Steps:

• Salsa:.
• Combine all ingredients, and any extra ingredients you may want to add, in a large glass bowl.
• Stir well with a spoon.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving time.
• Tortilla Chips:.
• Arrange the tortillas in a stack and cut into 6 equal wedges.
• Pour about 1-inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fat frying thermometer.
• Fry just a few at a time, turning occasionally, until crisp and lightly browned, about 1 minute.
• Drain on paper towels; sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired.
• Store in an airtight container.
• House Seasoning:.
• Mix ingredients together and flavor chips to taste.
• Store leftover seasoning in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Steps:

• To make the tortillas, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil, then cut into triangles with scissors. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets and bake for 7-8 mins. Remove, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• To make the guacamole, halve and stone the avocados, then spoon the flesh into a bowl. Pour over the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, then crush with a potato masher until puréed but still chunky. Add onion, coriander, chillies and chipotle paste. Stir through and set aside until needed.
• For the salsa, place the tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking tray. Season, and place under the grill until blackened, about 15 mins. Meanwhile, in a dry non-stick frying pan, blacken the chillies and garlic. Keep turning to darken on all sides, about 10 mins. When done, peel the garlic and place in a food processor. Place the chillies in a plastic bag to steam for a few mins, then peel, deseed and stem. Add the flesh to the food processor along with the tomatoes, onion, coriander, lime juice and chipotle paste. Season and pulse until chunky.

Steps:

• Combine the mangoes, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt, and toss. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving, so the flavors can marry.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large Dutch oven or deep-fryer to 350 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)
• Arrange the corn tortillas in a stack, and cut into six equal wedges. Drop the tortillas into the oil, in batches, and fry until crisp and golden, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Remove the chips from the fryer and place on a paper-towel-lined sheet tray. Sprinkle the chips immediately with the salt, and serve warm with the salsa.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stack a few corn tortillas at a time, and cut through the stack to make each tortilla into six equal wedges. Spread the wedges out in a single layer on two baking sheets, season with salt, and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden.
