Ingredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • oil for frying
  • kosher salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut tortillas into strips using a pizza cutter. You can cut 2-3 at a time pretty easily.
  2. Heat oil in a deep dryer, large skillet or frying pan. When oil reaches 350-375 degrees F, place strips into hot oil and fry until they become crispy.
  3. Remove from oil with tongs or a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt after each batch.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container or bag for about a week. Any longer than that and they can taste stale. You can also freeze the tortilla strips; they'll stay nice and fresh in the freezer for up to a month. Pull out a handful when you're making a salad or a bowl of soup. Try cutting the tortillas into fourths (triangles) to make tortilla chips. You can also use flour tortillas instead of corn, the consistency just won't be quite the same.
