1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are 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 excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat if desired) into small pieces.
6
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and roughly chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Seasoning
Pour in the lime juice and add salt to taste. Mix everything together gently until well combined.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve it fresh with the tortilla chips.
