1
Prepare the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

5
Chop the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes and onion, finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), and chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Season
Add lime juice and salt to the mixture, stirring well to combine all ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving for the flavors to meld.
