1
Cut the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to create triangular chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla wedges in batches to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
4
Drain the Chips
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the ripe tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper (removing seeds for less heat if desired). Chop the fresh cilantro.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro. Add lime juice and salt, then mix well.
7
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lime juice or salt to taste.
