Tortilla Chips Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into 6-8 wedges, resembling triangles.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add the tortilla wedges in batches to the hot oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain them on paper towels. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Cool and Store

    Let the chips cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
