Method
Chips
- 1
Prepare the chips
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. You can do this by stacking them and cutting them with a sharp knife.
- 2
Heat the oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- 3
Fry the chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Drain and season
Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Chill (optional)
For best flavor, allow the salsa to sit for 15-30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. You can refrigerate it during this time.
