1
Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
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 a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pot.
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. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
5
Repeat
Continue frying the remaining tortilla triangles until all chips are cooked.

6
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes and onion, chop the cilantro, and finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat if desired).
7
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice (squeezed from the lime), jalapeño, and salt.
8
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
9
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld together. Serve with the homemade tortilla chips.
