Chips, Guacamole, and Salsa

So, the other day I was in a summerish mood and I had a whole afternoon of nothing to do!
I decided that I would make homemade chips, salsa, and guacamole. I went up to the store bought some tomatoes, cilantro, avocados, and limes. Then I began preparing the food.

To make the chips: I first preheated the oven to 350F then I cut eight corn tortillas into triangle shapes and placed them on a cookie sheet. I then drizzled 2 TBS of cooking oil, and sprinkled 3/4 tsp of salt over everything. Then I put them in the oven and let them cook for 20 minutes until they were nice and crispy.

For the salsa: I just mixed all of the following ingredients in a bowl, and let it sit for 20 minutes.
4 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
3 green onions, chopped 
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped 
1 jalapeno, finely chopped 
1/2 cup of corn 
2 garlic cloves, chopped 
juice of one lime 
1 tsp of cumin 
1 tsp of coriander 
2 TBS of white vinegar 

For the guacamole:  I mixed all of the following ingredients, and kept one of the avocado pits in the bowl. I served it right away.
2 avacados, chopped 
juice of one lime 
1/2 jalapeno, finely chopped 
1/2 medium tomato, finely chopped 
3 TBS cilantro
