Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips

Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips

1. 8 corn tortillas
2. vegetable or canola oil, for frying
3. kosher salt

Method

1. Cut each tortilla into 4 triangle-shaped wedges.
2. Pour 2 inches of oil into a medium sized stockpot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Alternatively, test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of tortilla in the oil after it’s has had a good amount of time to warm up. When the tortilla piece sizzles in the hot oil, the oil is ready.
3. Place a paper towel onto a large plate. Add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil in small batches. Using a metal tongs, flip the chips in the oil after 30-40 seconds. After another 30 seconds of frying, remove the finished chips from the oil and place them on the paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt. Once all of the tortillas have been fried, salted and have cooled off a bit, you are ready to enjoy!
