1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain the Chips
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 while they are still hot.

5
Chop the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes and onion finely. Remove seeds from the jalapeño pepper (if you prefer less heat) and chop it finely. Roughly chop the cilantro leaves.
6
Combine the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and add salt to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.
8
Rest the Salsa
Let the salsa sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
