1
Prepare the Corn Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into wedges (quarters).
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
3
Fry the Tortilla Wedges
Carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Finely chop the tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), and cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.
7
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
8
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. Let the salsa sit for about 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
