1
Prepare the Vegetables
Start by washing the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro thoroughly under cold water. Dice the tomatoes and red onion into small pieces. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat (or keep them for more heat) and finely chop it.
2
Mix Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chopped jalapeño, and salt. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients well.
3
Let It Rest
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld together.

4
Cut the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles or strips, depending on your preference. Each tortilla can be cut into 6-8 pieces.
5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of tortilla into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
6
Fry the Chips
Working in batches, carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
7
Drain and Season
Once the chips are done frying, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
