Method
Chips
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles or strips to form chips.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few tortilla pieces to the hot oil at a time, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.
Salsa
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
Add Seasoning
Pour the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Let it Marinate
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
