1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it's hot but not smoking.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, frying them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.
4
Drain and Season
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried chips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and jalapeño (removing seeds for less heat, if desired).
6
Mix Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Squeeze the juice of one lime into the mixture and add a teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
8
Let it Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
