Homemade Salsa & Tortilla Chips
A friend of mine recently turned me on to this homemade salsa recipe that she found on Pinterest. I don't love that it uses canned Rotel and tomatoes because they are more processed than I would like (I'm going to attempt it in the future with fresh tomatoes, but alas, I have yet to test that out). Regardless, it is very easy to make, and also quite delicious. I put loads of cilantro in mine and we've been eating it on everything. It's excellent on baked potatoes!
The other night we were craving chips to eat with it so I decided to try my hand at making my own tortilla chips. I didn't want to use any oil or salt to keep them as healthy and simple as possible, so I didn't really follow a recipe except to get an idea about how long to cook them. I used a pizza cutter to cut up a few whole wheat tortillas, put them on a greased cookie sheet, and baked them at 350 for 7 minutes on each side. In my opinion, they taste similar to Wheat Thins (without the salt) and are the perfect healthy companion for my delicious salsa.
Ever since I made this combo, I've been a little obsessed with it. Today for lunch, I made these chips and mixed some salsa with black beans, corn, and avocado. Then I proceeded to dip and eat the entire batch myself. It was quite delicious, and husband informed me that I'm not allowed to make it in the future when he's at work. We'll see about that... ;)
