Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stack the 12 corn tortillas and cut them into 6 wedges each, using a sharp knife.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the 2 cups vegetable oil into a deep skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Fry the tortilla wedges in batches, without crowding, until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per batch.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the 1 teaspoon salt over the hot chips and toss gently to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Let the chips cool completely before serving; they will crisp up as they cool.
