Method

For the Homemade Tortilla Chips

1

Cut the Tortillas

Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into quarters to form triangles.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

3

Fry the Chips

Working in batches, add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and drain them on paper towels.

4

Season the Chips

Sprinkle the hot chips with salt while they are still warm.

Prepare the Vegetables

Chop the ripe tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), and cilantro into small pieces.

6

Mix the Salsa

In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

7

Let it Rest

Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
