Home Made Corn Tortilla Chips


So there is really NO recipe for this, but I did take a few photos explaining how I did this.  I got some corn tortillas in a bulk tortilla pack yesterday and we do NOT like corn tortillas, so a friend of ours suggested "chips"! And I am very glad she did!  They are so good!  All you need is tortillas and salt.  You will also need a fryer, you could use a pan on the stove also, a place to drain some of the oil and salt the chips (that's the strainer with papertowles you see in the picture) and a tongs!  Heat your oil to 400 degrees and while that is heating you can quarter your tortillas.



Once that is done and your oil is hot, just start throwing them in the fryer or pan a few at a time, let them fry between 2 and 3 minutes, make sure they are crispy, you don't want them soft in the middle! (Also, they will turn that golden color once they cool, so don't leave them in until they are golden brown, that's too long!)


Once you take them out, allow them to "drain" a bit and then salt them! 


And there you have it!  Your home made chips!!!
