1
Prepare the Oil
In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
2
Fry the Chips
Gently add the tortilla chips to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
3
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

4
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes and onion into small pieces. Finely chop the cilantro and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
5
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, chopped jalapeño, and salt.
6
Mix and Taste
Stir the salsa well to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.
