Chips

Method

Chips

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into quarters to create triangle-shaped chips.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, 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. Fry them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fried chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

Dip

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine sour cream and mayonnaise.

  2. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Add the fresh chives, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

  3. 7

    Mix Well

    Stir all ingredients together until well combined and smooth.

  4. 8

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving with the tortilla chips.
