Ingredients
- 8 pieces corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pound tomatillos
- 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
- 0.5 medium, chopped white onion
- 0.5 cup, chopped cilantro
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 1 sliced avocado
- 3 sliced radishes
- 1 cut into wedges lime
Directions
Step 1
Cut the corn tortillas into quarters to make wedges.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla wedges in batches and fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine tomatillos, jalapeño peppers, chopped onion, garlic cloves, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the tomatillos are softened.
Step 4
Drain the boiled vegetables and transfer them to a blender. Add cilantro and salt. Blend until smooth, adding vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5
Pour the salsa verde back into the saucepan and simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 6
In a clean skillet, add the fried tortilla chips and pour the warm salsa verde over them. Toss gently to coat the chips without breaking them.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the chips soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced avocado, radishes, and lime wedges.
