1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to form triangle shapes.
2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper finely. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Season
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the salsa mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Let it Rest
Allow the salsa to rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to let the flavors meld together.
