1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a batch of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4
Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño before finely chopping it. Chop the cilantro leaves roughly.
6
Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir gently to combine.
8
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more lime juice or salt if needed.
