1
Prepare the Tortilla Chips
Start by cutting the corn tortillas into triangles. You can stack several tortillas and cut them at once to save time.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them 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. Repeat the frying process until all tortilla triangles are cooked.

5
Chop the Ingredients
Dice the fresh tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Chop the fresh cilantro finely.
6
Combine the Salsa Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle the salt over the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
8
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salsa and adjust the lime juice and salt according to your preference.
