Snack Fest 2010

When I'm worried about something, I cook.

Yesterday, I made chocolate chip cookies and failed making pretzels.

Today, I made lemonade, salsa, and tortilla chips. And here's my recipe for super fresh, tasty salsa and torilla chips.
Salsa:
3 big tomatoes chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 small bunch of cilantro leaves and stems, chopped
some kind of citrus juice. lime's the best
s&p to taste
fresh or canned jalapenos, to taste

Chop everything up and place in a non metal bowl. Toss with citrus juice. Add salt and pepper and then toss again. Add the jalapenos and ta-da!

Tortilla chips:
pre made soft tortilla wraps
sea salt
olive oil

Take very little olive oil, about a teaspoon, and pour it on a plate. With your fingers, spread the oil all over the plate to make as thin of a coating as possible. Cut the tortillas into wedges and dredge in the oil. Put them on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake them at about 190 c (375 f) for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. You may have to flip them half way if your pan is metal rather than glass, so check your first batch just to be sure.

Hope you enjoy!
