1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil, and place them on paper towels to drain. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and onion finely. Remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeño and chop it finely. Chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Seasoning
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and season with salt to taste. Mix well.
8
Let the Salsa Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
