Homemade Flour Tortilla Chips {#Recipe}

 

Ingredients:

1. Flour Tortillas
2. Frying Oil {Vegetable, Canola, Peanut, etc}
3. Salt {Optional}

Directions:

• Preheat the oil to 375 degrees. Stack tortillas and cut into strips or wedges.  I use about 1 tortilla per person plus 1-2 extra.  These chips are seriously addicting so make more than you think you’ll need.
• 
• Add a handful of tortilla wedges at a time, turning over when golden brown.
• 
  
• Remove the chips with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels while you finish the remaining batches.  This is where you season with salt if you would like to.  I personally find the chips don’t need salt but that’s personal preference.
• 
• If you are making strips {perfect for Chicken Tortilla Soup!}, they cook very fast so keep an eye on them!
• 
• Depending on how many batches you are doing, you can keep the chips warm in a 200 degree oven while finishing up.
• To bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place tortilla strips or wedges on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until crisp.
