Cut the Tortillas
While the oil is heating, cut each corn tortilla into six triangles.

Fry the Tortilla Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
