1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into wedges (like a pizza). You can cut them in half and then into quarters to make triangle-shaped chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle immediately.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Finely chop the cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Add lime juice and salt, mixing well to combine.
7
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the salsa and add additional salt or lime juice as needed to suit your preference.
