Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the tortilla chips: Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular wedges using a sharp knife.

Step 2

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

6. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, and cilantro.

Step 7

7. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, then mix well to combine.

Step 8

8. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning as needed. For a smoother texture, blend the salsa lightly in a food processor or blender.
