Tortilla Chips
Homemade tortilla chips are a fun addition to any salsa, guacamole, or soup. These are simple, come together fast, and are always fun to eat.

Cheesy Bruschetta Toasts
These are a delicious appetizer and if you’re not careful (speaking from direct experience here) can quickly turn into a whole meal on its own. Fresh, fragrant tomatoes are important – use the nicest ones you can get your hands on. These are best washed down with a glass of red wine.
For a more traditional bruschetta, leave off the cheese. However like most things, these are better with cheese.
