1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
6
Prepare Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro, remove the leaves from the stems, and chop roughly.
7
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced jalapeño, and cilantro.
8
Add Lime and Season
Pour lime juice over the mixture and season with salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
9
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.
