1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal wedges to create 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 a batch of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

5
Chop the Vegetables
Dice the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño pepper. Chop the cilantro roughly.
6
Mix the Ingredients
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño pepper.
7
Season the Salsa
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and add salt. Stir until well combined.
8
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice if necessary.
