1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a batch of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper into small pieces. Finely chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Season
Add the lime juice and salt to the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
8
Let it Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
