Homemade Tortilla Chips
These tortilla chips are light, crunchy, and bursting with flavor. You can dip them in your favorite salsa or enjoy them plain. Let’s dive into the details of this simple recipe!
Ingredients:
- 8-10 corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- Salt (to taste)
Instructions:
- Start by cutting the corn tortillas into quarter wedges. This will give you perfectly shaped chips for dipping.
- In a large skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- Once the oil is ready, carefully add a handful of tortilla wedges to the hot oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the temperature of the oil and make the chips soggy.
- Fry the chips for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the chips from the oil and drain them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- While they are still warm, sprinkle a little salt over the chips for extra flavor, adjusting to your taste preference.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla wedges.
- Once all the chips are fried and seasoned, serve them warm with your choice of salsa or dip!
And there you have it—delicious homemade tortilla chips that are sure to impress your friends and family. Enjoy the satisfaction of making these from scratch, and feel free to experiment with different seasonings or dipping sauces to make them your own. Happy snacking!
