Method
Chips
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles, about 6 pieces per tortilla.
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Cool
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt while still warm.
Salsa
Mix the Salsa
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro.
Season the Salsa
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
Let It Marinate
Allow the salsa to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
