1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular pieces to create chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still warm.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the ripe tomatoes and red onion. Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño. Stir well.
7
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice and salt to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
8
Chill (Optional)
For best flavor, let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
