Chips Preparation
- 1
Fry the Chips
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the tortilla chips in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
