Method
Preparing Tortilla Chips
- 1
Cut and Fry Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangular shapes. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tortilla triangles into the oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.

Add Milk and Cheese
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Then, gradually stir in the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt, black pepper, and chili powder, mixing well.
