1
Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into quarters to create triangle shapes.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the jalapeño pepper (removing seeds if you prefer less heat).
6
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, and finely chopped fresh cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add 1 tsp of salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
8
Let it Sit
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
