Method
Chips
Prepare the Tortillas
Start by cutting the corn tortillas into triangles. You can achieve this by stacking them and cutting them into quarters.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge the tortilla triangles.
Fry the Chips
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the pan. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle salt over them while they are still hot.
Salsa
Mix the Salsa
In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
Add Seasonings
Pour in the lime juice, and sprinkle in salt and black pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lime juice or salt to taste.
