Ingredients
- 5 small corn tortillas
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Cut the tortillas into 6 triangles each.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pan, ensuring it’s at least ¼ inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers or reaches about 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add a few tortilla triangles to the hot oil in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 45–60 seconds per side, or until golden and crisp.
- Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the chips from the oil. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- While the chips are still warm, sprinkle them with lime juice, kosher salt, and chili powder. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve the chips immediately for maximum crunch. Enjoy them plain or with your favorite dip.
Notes
- These are best eaten right away and not saving any. But they're so easy you'll be glad to make them every time you want some!
