1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Tortilla Wedges
Carefully add a batch of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally.
4
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately while they're hot.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, jalapeño (removing seeds if you prefer less heat), and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
7
Add Seasoning
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving with the chips.
