Salsa Preparation
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
Add Seasoning
Pour in lime juice, add salt, and sprinkle garlic powder. Stir all ingredients together until well combined.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to your preference.
Refrigerate
Cover the salsa with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Tortilla Chips Preparation
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Cut Tortillas
Cut the yellow corn tortillas into quarters to create chip shapes.
Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
Serve
Once the chips have cooled slightly, serve them alongside the house salsa.
