1
Prepare the tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to create chips.
2
Heat the oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Fry the chips
Carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the hot oil, frying them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the skillet.
4
Drain and season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

5
Chop the vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat if desired).
6
Mix the ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped fresh cilantro.
7
Add lime juice and salt
Pour the lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Taste and adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
