We first had these while on vacation in the Caribbean. After returning, I had to figure out how to make them. We now prefer these to store-bought corn tortilla chips.

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 high-quality corn tortillas. Fresh, non-GMO tortillas will yield the best results.
  • Cut the tortillas into uniform wedges. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the tortilla chips in batches to avoid sogginess.
  • Use a high smoke point oil. This will prevent the oil from burning and smoking.
  • Season the tortilla chips immediately after frying. This will help the seasoning adhere to the chips.
  • Store the tortilla chips in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade fried tortilla chips are a delicious and versatile snack. They can be served with salsa, guacamole, or any other dip of your choice. They can also be used as a topping for nachos, tacos, or burritos. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own fried tortilla chips at home.
