Instructions

  • Start by cutting your corn tortillas into four triangles.
    Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy bottom skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tortilla triangles into the pan.
    Fry them in batches so the pan isn’t overcrowded.
    Within about 1–2 minutes, the tortillas will puff slightly and turn golden and crisp.
    Flip them as needed to make sure both sides cook evenly.
    Remove the chips and place them on a paper towel or wire rack to drain.

    That smoky flavor sticks beautifully to the hot chips.
