1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the fresh tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) into small pieces. Finely chop the cilantro.
6
Mix Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
7
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Drizzle the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with the freshly made tortilla chips.
