Ingredients
Scale
- 6 corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Optional seasonings: chili powder, garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Set up a frying station with a large pot or deep skillet and a slotted spoon.
- Heat the Oil: Pour the vegetable oil into your pot until about 2 inches deep. Heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test readiness by dropping in a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle.

- Fry the Chips: Carefully place tortilla pieces in hot oil, frying until golden brown and crispy (about 1-2 minutes per side).
- Drain and Season: Remove chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with sea salt while hot.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm alongside your favorite dips for an unforgettable snack experience.
