1
Cut Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, creating chip shapes.
2
Heat Oil
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Fry Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
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
Chop Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat if desired).
6
Mix Salsa
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Season
Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve with the freshly made chips.
