Instructions
Step 1
Gather the ingredients.Step 2
Leave the tortillas out in your kitchen, uncovered, overnight.Step 3
Cut them into wedges using a knife or pizza cutter. Three cuts will make 6 chips from each tortilla. But you can stack them and do 2 or 3 at a time.Step 4
Heat the oil to 360 F. If you don't have a thermometer to check the temperature, is that the oil will bubble around the tip of a wooden spoon.Step 5
Add enough chips to cover the bottom of the pan in a single layer, without crowding or overlapping.Step 6
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until the chips have turned lightly golden brown and are quite crisp and firm. Flip them occasionally with a pair of tongs so that they cook evenly.Step 7
Remove each chip from the oil with your tongs, letting excess oil drain back into the pan, and transfer to paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and then repeat the process until all the chips are cooked.Step 8
Serve warm with fresh homemade salsa .
