If you’ve ever wanted to make your own Homemade Tortilla Chips, our easy recipe will guide you on how to do just that. 2 ingredients, crunchy, and delicious, you just can’t beat homemade!
Heat oil in a deep fryer or in a heavy bottom skillet with deep sides with 3 inches of oil to 350°F.
Stack 5 tortillas on top of each other and cut them into 6ths making tortilla triangles. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Add about 10 chips at a time to the hot oil, keep them moving around to brown evenly on both sides, and they become crispy about 3-4 minutes. They will be lightly golden brown along the edges.
Add the chips to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil, then place them in a large bowl.
Sprinkle with a little bit of salt and toss the chips around, so they get coated in the salt.
Place the chips onto a wire rack sitting on a sheet tray in a single layer and repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve with your favorite dips or in recipes.
Notes
Nutrition is not calculated with the oil used for frying.
This makes a large batch, but you can easily double it to feed more or halve the recipe as needed.
Tons of custom options for seasonings, see my tips above on that.
I suggest using peanut oil if possible; it is a cleaner oil to fry with.
This does not freeze well, see my tips above on how to store.
