1
Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and onion into small pieces. Finely chop the jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat) and cilantro.
6
Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add lime juice and salt.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice as desired.
8
Serve
Serve the salsa in a bowl alongside the freshly made tortilla chips.
