Tortilla Chips

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cut 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 or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Chips

    Carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Drain and Season

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle with salt.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla triangles. Serve warm with salsa fresca.
