1
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
2
Fry the Chips
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of tortilla chips to the oil. Fry them in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Drain and Salt
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

4
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper. Make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer a milder salsa.
5
Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
6
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice and salt to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
