Step 1
Stack the 12 corn tortillas and cut them into 6 wedges each, using a sharp knife.
Step 2
Pour the 2 cups vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Fry the tortilla wedges in batches, without crowding, until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon salt over the hot chips and toss gently to coat.
Step 6
Let the chips cool completely before serving; they will crisp up as they cool.
