1
Fry the Tortilla Chips
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the tortilla chips in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
2
Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.

3
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper finely. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping.
4
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Pour in the lime juice and add salt to taste. Stir everything together until well mixed.
5
Chill the Salsa
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also refrigerate it for a fresher taste.
