1. Prepare the Tortillas
Cut the corn tortillas into triangles to create chips.
2. Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Chips
Carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Drain and Season
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.
