1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangles to form chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the chips and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4
Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the ripe tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat if preferred).
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Add Lime and Season
Squeeze the lime juice into the mixture and add salt. Stir well to combine.
8
Let it Rest
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
