Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 ½ cup canola oil
  • Kosher salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Stack the tortillas in groups of 5, and use a sharp knife to cut them into 6 equal-sized triangles.
  • Add 1 ½ cup canola or vegetable oil to a frying pan over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature.
  • Once the oil has come to temperature (350-375°F), add tortilla triangles in a single layer. You will need to fry in batches.
  • Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, using a skimmer or slotted spoon to turn the chips 2-3 times throughout the frying process. Continue until all of the chips are golden and crispy.
  • Use the skimmer to remove the chips from the grease and transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet or cooling rack. Sprinkle with Kosher salt immediately after coming out of the oil.
  • Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy!
