Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Start by cutting the corn tortillas into triangles. Take each tortilla and stack them, then cut them into 6 wedges.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.

Frying

  1. 3

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).

  2. 4

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

  3. 5

    Fry the tortilla chips for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  4. 6

    While the chips are still hot, sprinkle the spice mixture over them, tossing gently to ensure they are evenly coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the warm tortilla chips immediately with your favorite dips such as salsa, guacamole, or cheese dip.

  2. 8

    Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
