Instructions for Making Tortilla Chips
- 1
Prepare the Tortillas
Cut each corn tortilla into 6 triangular pieces.

Heat the Oil
In a large heavy skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

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.

Repeat
Continue frying the remaining tortilla pieces in batches until all are cooked.
