Method
Chips
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles to create chip shapes.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
Salsa
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro.
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Pour the lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.
