Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangle shapes (like a pizza) or into strips, depending on your preference.
- 2
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).
- 3
Fry Chips
Carefully add a handful of the cut tortillas to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- 4
Remove and Drain
Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- 5
Season
While still warm, sprinkle the fried chips with salt and any optional seasonings you desire. Toss to coat evenly.
- 6
Serve
Serve the housemade chips warm with your favorite dips, such as salsa, guacamole, or queso.
