Notes
- To save time, you can use frozen onion, peppers and chillies.
- If you still want all the colour from the chillies, but don't want all the heat, then remove the seeds and the membrane of the chillies.
- Toss everything together in a bowl to make sure all the chips are fully coated, so you get flavour with every bite.
- Use a warm mixing bowl to keep the chips hot.
- If you are using frozen chips, there is no need to add any oil for cooking them.
