1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 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, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While they're still hot, sprinkle with salt.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and onion, and finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, if desired.
6
Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
7
Season the Salsa
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine.
8
Let it Rest
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
