Tortilla Chips Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and cut them into sixths to form triangle-shaped chips.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan, 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 a tortilla in; it should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Fry the Chips
Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Season the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt, ground cumin, and chili powder. Drizzle with fresh lime juice for added flavor.
- 5
Serve
Serve the warm tortilla chips immediately with salsa, guacamole, or cheese dip.
