Cook’s Notes
If you want to make your own tortilla chips here is an oven baked recipe which significantly cuts down on the fat (and the mess of deep frying):

Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Stir together 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon chili powder, 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Brush one side of each tortilla with the mixture and cut each tortilla into 12 wedges. Arrange the wedges in one layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes or until crispy.

And if you want to make your own tomatillo salsa here is a recipe for that as well:

Tomatillo Salsa
Yields a generous cup

2 large tomatillos (about 6 to 7 ounces)
2 medium scallions
1 small jalapeño chile
1/4 cup firmly packed cilantro leaves and stems
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 small garlic cloves
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Peel, rinse and thickly slice the tomatillos (about 1 1/2 cups), thickly slice the white and light green part of the scallions (about 1/4 cup), and coarsely chop the jalapeño (about 2 teaspoons). Transfer the tomatillos, scallions, cilantro, and jalapeño to a food processor fitted with the chopping blade; add the oil and lime juice and press in the garlic (about 2 teaspoons). Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped.
Add the salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a bowl; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
