Method

Chips Preparation

Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Fry the Chips

Carefully add the tortilla chips to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Drain and Season

Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

Salsa Preparation

Chop the Vegetables

Dice the tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.

Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.

Add Lime Juice and Season

Pour in the lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Taste and Adjust

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
