Answer 5

Very easy to make:

12 (6 to 7 inch) corn tortillas

1 cup of vegetable oil

½ teaspoon salt (optional chili powder)

   1. Stack 3 tortillas on a cutting surface. With a large sharp knife, cut straight down through the stack, cutting into quarters. If making strips, cut across the tortillas to make strips the width you want for your dish.

   2. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until a wedge or strip of tortilla starts to sizzle immediately when dipped into the hot oil.

   3. Fry the tortilla pieces in batches about 2 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.

   4. Remove with a slotted spoon or tongs, and drain on paper towels.

   5. While the chips are still hot, sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Hey try adding a little chili powder and ground cumin...Imagine!

Makes about 48 chips.
