Tortilla Chips
Method
Tortilla Chips
- 1
Prepare the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut each tortilla into 6 triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of tortilla in; it should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.
- 5
Repeat
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla triangles until all are cooked.
