Meanwhile, prepare the tomato salsa. Cut the tortillas into triangles by slicing 8 tortillas at a time in half and then slicing each half in quarters. Once the oil is heated, drop the triangles into the oil and fry for 5-7 minutes or until they look slightly golden. Stir the tortillas ever so often so that they do not clump. After each batch of tortilla chips is cooked, place them in a bowl draped with paper towels, in order to drain excess oil.Red sauce recipe6 Roma tomatoes2 garlic cloves½ onion1 jalapeno, seeded for spicy, or deseeded for non spicyIn a medium pot, bring to boil 6 tomatoes, jalapeño,1/2 onion, 2 garlic cloves and 1 tsp salt for 10 min.
