1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to create chip shapes.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
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 medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Salt
Pour the lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with salt. Stir well to combine.
8
Let it Sit
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
