Tortilla Chips

Preparation

Cut the Tortillas

Heat the Oil
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pot.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
