Add Flavorings
Once the cheese is melted, add the green chiles, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and diced jalapeños. Stir well to combine and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

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

Fry the Tortillas
Carefully add the white corn tortillas to the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

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. Sprinkle with salt while still hot.
