1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles by stacking them and slicing them with a sharp knife.
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 a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Immediately sprinkle with salt.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the ripe tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño before dicing it. Chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Stir in the lime juice and salt.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice if necessary.
