1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles or strips to create chip shapes.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Finely chop the fresh tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder salsa.
6
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
7
Add Lime Juice and Season
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
8
Chill the Salsa
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
