1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges in batches to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4
Season the Chips
Sprinkle the hot chips with salt while they are still warm.

5
Chop the Ingredients
Dice the ripe tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat, if desired).
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
7
Let it Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld together before serving.
