Ingredients
For the Tortilla Chips
- 1 package 8-10 count corn tortillas, uncooked are best but any kind are fine
- 2 quarts corn peanut, canola, or vegetable oil (I prefer corn)
- salt to taste
For the Cheesy Green Chili, Pepper Dip
- 12 oz Oaxaca cheese Cacique brand or large mozzarella round
- 6 oz queso fresco crumbled
- 2 shallot diced finely
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- ¼ cup green chiles diced, roasted
- ½ cup salsa or diced tomatoes
Instructions
- Make the Chips using the following method.
- In a tall pot, heat oil to 350 degrees.
- In small batches, addchips to oil. (I use my hands and work quickly to avoid being splattered with oil, but you can also use a wire basket or skimmer.)
- Stir chips in oil to make sure they don’t stick together and cook evenly.
- Cook until lightly golden brown.
- Remove with a skimmer, lightly shaking as you remove chips to remove excess oil.
- Place on a plate with paper towels and very lightly pat dry if there is a lot of excess oil.
- Sprinkle with salt or any other flavoring you’d like.
- Next make the dip using the following method.
- In a large pan, heat shallots, bell pepper, and green chiles until shallots are lightly browned.
- Add salsa or tomatoes and stir to mix well, cook off any excess liquid.
- Add oaxca or mozzarella cheese to pan and melt on medium high heat, stirring often to prevent burning. (This will go faster if you cut the cheese into smaller cubes.)
- When cheese is melted and thoroughly mixed with chiles and peppers, add queso fresco crumbles to the top.
- Remove from heat and top with green onion, diced tomatoes or cherry tomatoes, and enjoy immediately with your homemade chips.
