Homemade Tortilla Chips (Totopos)
Report
Freshly made tortilla chips, called totopos in Spanish, are easy to make in less than 15 minutes. They are lighter, crispier, and with a more authentic corn taste than packaged tortilla chips. They are worth the extra effort it takes to prepare this recipe.

Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 ½ to 2 cups cooking oil
- salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat ¼" inch of cooking oil in a wide frying pan. You will need 1 ½ cups to 2 cups of oil depending on how wide your pan is.
- You will prepare the chips in batches. Place a single layer of tortilla pieces in the hot oil and cook until they are just turning golden brown.
- Remove as soon as they turn golden otherwise they will burn which happens very quickly. Continue frying batches until you have cooked all of the tortilla pieces.
- Place the tortilla chips in a deep bowl lined with paper towels to remove the excess oil.
- Salt if desired.
Notes
- This recipe will make enough chips to prepare four servings of chilaquiles or serve 4 to 6 people for chips and dip.
- If your tortillas are really fresh and still moist and pliable, spread them out on the counter for a few hours until they dry out. Remember, stale tortillas make better chips.
