Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles, like a pizza. You can cut each tortilla into 6 or 8 wedges.

  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 place a handful of tortilla triangles into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 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 a paper towel-lined plate. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tortilla chips warm with your favorite salsa.
