1
Prepare the Corn Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles to create chip shapes. You can cut them into quarters for smaller chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Season with salt immediately while they are still hot.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Mix Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Season
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa mixture. Add salt to taste and mix well.
8
Let it Sit
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
