Categories     Mexican

Time 2m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

8 corn tortillas
salad oil

Steps:

  • Arrange 8 corn tortillas in a stack and cut into 6 equal wedges.
  • Pour about 1/2 inch salad oil in a deep 2 or 3-quart pan and set on medium-high to high heat.
  • When oil is hot enough to make a piece of tortilla sizzle, add tortilla pieces, a handful at a time, and stir to separate.
  • Cook until crisp (1 to 1-1/2 minutes); lift from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Tips:

  • Use fresh tortillas for the best results. Stale tortillas will not fry up as well and will be more likely to break.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform strips so that they cook evenly.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before frying the tortillas. The oil should be hot enough to fry the tortillas quickly without burning them.
  • Fry the tortillas in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the tortillas to steam and not fry properly.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the tortillas from the oil. This will help to drain the excess oil.
  • Season the tortilla chips immediately after frying. This will help the seasoning to adhere to the chips.

Conclusion:

Fried flour tortilla chips are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of dips and toppings. They are also a great way to use up leftover tortillas. With just a few simple steps, you can make your own delicious fried flour tortilla chips at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give this recipe a try.
