Tortilla Chips
Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut Tortillas
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each corn tortilla into 6 equal triangles. This will give you the classic chip shape.
- 2
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 3
Fry the Chips
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a handful of tortilla triangles to the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and crispy.
- 4
Drain the Chips
Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 5
Season the Chips
While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with salt, ground cumin, and chili powder. Drizzle with lime juice for extra flavor and toss to coat evenly.
