1
Cutting the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles (like a pizza).
2
Heating the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
3
Frying the Chips
Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4
Draining Excess Oil
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

5
Chopping the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat). Chop the cilantro finely.
6
Mixing the Salsa
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Seasoning the Salsa
Squeeze the lime over the mixture and add salt to taste. Stir well to combine.
8
Letting it Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
