Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- Vegetable oil, for frying (avocado, canola, and corn oil all work)
- Flaky or fine sea salt, for seasoning
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet or plate with paper towels and set aside.
- Cut the corn tortillas into fourths for large tortilla chips or into sixths for small tortilla chips.
- Fill a heavy skillet or Dutch oven with ¼ - ½ -inch of oil or enough oil to fully submerge the chips.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F or a small piece of tortilla sizzles when placed in the oil.
- Add a handful of tortilla wedges into the oil and fry for about 2 minutes, flipping halfway through with metal tongs or a slotted spoon, until the chips are crisp and turn a beautiful golden yellow color. Transfer the chips to the lined baking sheet or plate to drain off any excess oil. Continue working in batches so as not to completely crowd the skillet.
- Sprinkle the chips with salt and serve immediately.
Notes
- If frying isn't your thing, try these baked tortilla chips or air fryer tortilla chips.
- Try to keep the oil at a steady medium heat (around 350°F). Too hot, and they’ll burn quickly. Too cool, and they’ll be too oily.
- Salt your chips immediately after frying when they’re still hot. This ensures the seasoning sticks to the chips better.
- Tortilla chips can go from perfectly golden to burnt in a matter of seconds. Keep a close eye on them during the frying process.
