Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tortillas

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

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Tortilla Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, sprinkle with salt and any optional seasonings to taste.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Allow the chips to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
