You can bake or fry these delicious chips. Use them as dippers for Guacamole, Nacho Cheese Sauce, Salsa Fresca or Mexican Layered Dip.
Ingredients:
12 corn or flour tortillas
4 cups vegetable oil for frying
sat to taste
Directions:
1. Stack 4 tortillas and cut into 8 wedges. Separate pieces and repeat with remaining tortillas.
2. To fry, place enough oil in a deep, heavy saucepan to come within 1 of the top of the pan. Place over medium high heat until thermometer registers 375*. Drop in chips and, stirring frequently, fry until chips are crisp and light golden brown. (Guessing at 5 minutes)
3. Remove from oil using a stainless steel strainer and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
4. BAKE YOUR CHIPS:
5. To bake tortilla chips, preheat oven to 400*. Before cutting tortillas into wedges, brush each with vegetable oil. Spread in single layer on baking sheets and bake at 400* for 1-12 minutes until chips are crisp and light golden brown; sprinkle with salt. Cool on paper towels. Store all tortilla chips in airtight containers.
