Ingredients

  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Method

  1. Cut each tortilla into 4 triangle-shaped wedges. Line a large plate with a paper towel.
  2. Attach a deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large pot. Heat 2-inches of vegetable oil in the pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 325°F on the thermometer.
  3. Working in small batches, add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Cook for 30-40 seconds or until golden brown on one side. Using metal tongs, flip the chips. Cook for 30 more seconds or until golden and crispy. Transfer the chips to the prepared plate. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
