Homemade Tortilla Chips Recipe
Hot and fresh homemade tortilla chips, just like the kind you get at your favorite Mexican joint. Never buy chips again!
Ingredients
- 1 cup neutral oil (such as grapeseed)
- corn tortillas (cut into wedges)
- flaky salt
Steps
-
Spread out the tortillas to dry them slightly. It’s best if you use old tortillas, but fresh work too, just lay them out for a bit.
-
Heat up the oil in a deep, heavy bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Make sure that the oil is only about 1-2 inches deep. Prepare a baking sheet with a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels to drain the chips on.
-
When the oil is hot, carefully drop the tortillas, in batches, into the oil and fry, stirring and flipping every so often until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to scoop them out of the oil when lightly golden. You want to pull them out of the oil early as they’ll continue to brown slightly as they cool. Drain on the prepared baking sheet or plate and season generously with salt while still hot.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas until you have a batch of chips!
