Natural Delights - The Homemade Tortilla Chip
In a world where we're inundated with super-sized flavor, it's easy to forget how delicious simplicity can be -- the one exercise in restraint that makes life all the sweeter. It never fails to astound me how delicious a piece of toast with butter is, and the same can definitely be said for tortilla chips.
These days, we've got a whole variety of powdery flavors to up the junk food ante, but while many of them are tasty, nothing compares to the simplicity of a homemade tortilla chip. Simply make some tortillas (I use the Robert Rodriguez recipe), rip or cut them into the shapes and sizes you prefer, and then bake them on a low heat until sufficiently crisp.
A homemade tortilla chip with salsa is like a fine, rustic bread with your favorite cheese. That simple combination of ingredients makes the perfect pairing for salsa, helping and emphasizing the spicy tomato flavors rather than overpowering them. Try it -- there's nothing quite like it.
