Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- ¾-1 cup vegetable oil
- kosher salt, or other coarse salt, to taste
Instructions
- Tortilla chips fry better when the tortillas are a little dried out. You can lay them out on paper towels or wax paper for a few hours before cutting, or dry them in the oven: Lay tortillas out in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 200°F for 10 minutes.
- Cut each tortilla into 6 triangle-shaped wedges.
- Add enough oil to a large skillet to fill about ¼ inch high and heat over medium heat to about 350°F. You can test the heat of the oil by adding a small piece of tortilla to it; if the oil is hot enough, the tortilla should sizzle.
- Working in batches, fry tortilla triangles in the hot oil until color changes just slightly and pieces are crispy, 3–4 minutes. Place on a paper towel-lined plate when done.
- Sprinkle chips with salt while warm. Serve warm with salsa.
Notes
- Recipe Tips.
- Store the cooled tortilla chips in an airtight container for 3 days. You can keep them longer but they will start to become stale.

- For quick easy cutting, stack 3 tortillas and use a pizza cutter to cut triangles.
- Keep a constant oil temperature. To test if the oil is ready, place a corner of a tortilla slice in the oil; it should bubble and sizzle right away. If it browns too rapidly, the oil is too hot.
- Try out different seasonings like garlic or onion salt, ranch seasoning, cayenne pepper, or chili powder for a bit of heat.
- Serve with Tamale Dip, BLT Dip, Guacamole, or Homemade Salsa
