1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 wedges to create chips.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.
3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add tortilla wedges to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4
Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt.

5
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and remove the seeds and finely chop the jalapeño pepper.
6
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice and salt to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
8
Chill and Serve
Let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve with the crispy tortilla chips.
