Instructions
1. Prepare the Salsa Base
o In a pot, add the garlic cloves, onion, celery, Roma tomatoes, and red jalapeño peppers.
o Cover with water and boil for 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
o Transfer the boiled vegetables to a blender. Add a tablespoon of white vinegar, a pinch of salt, and a small amount of the cooking water. Blend until smooth.
2. Cook the Salsa
o In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
o Pour the blended salsa into the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust salt to taste.
3. Fry the Tortillas
o Heat a skillet with enough oil for shallow frying.
o Fry the tortillas one at a time until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. Assemble the Tostaditas
o Spread a thin layer of the cooked salsa onto each fried tortilla.
o Top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra zest.
5. Serve
o Arrange the tostaditas on a serving platter. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
