1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.

5
Prepare the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, chop the red onion, and finely chop the jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat).
6
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped onion, chopped jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice and salt to the vegetable mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving with the tortilla chips.
