Method
Preparation
- 1
Cut Tortillas
Stack the corn tortillas on a cutting board and slice them into 6 equal wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- 2
Mix Spices
In a small bowl, combine the salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Frying
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can check the temperature by dropping a small piece of tortilla into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 4
Fry Tortilla Wedges
Carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
- 5
Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried chips from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chips.
