1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangle shapes, about 6 pieces per tortilla.
2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles in batches to the hot oil. Fry 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 paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the fresh tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper into small pieces. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, if desired.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime Juice and Salt
Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with the freshly made chips.
