1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Tomatoes
Dice the ripe tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
6
Prepare the Onion
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl with the tomatoes.
7
Add Cilantro
Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and mix it into the bowl.
8
Spice it Up
Finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat) and add it to the mixture.
9
Add Lime Juice
Pour the lime juice over the salsa mixture and stir well.
10
Season the Salsa
Add salt to taste and mix everything together thoroughly.
