Method
Preparing the Chips
- 1
Cutting the Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas and cut them into triangles or quarters. Each tortilla can be cut into 6-8 pieces depending on your preference.
- 2
Heating the Oil
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to submerge the chips. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a piece of tortilla into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 3
Frying the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips and drain them on paper towels.

Seasoning the Chips
While the chips are still hot, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
