Ingredients
- 10 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Start by stacking the corn tortillas and using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut them into quarters to create triangular chips.
Step 2
In a large frying pan or skillet, pour in the vegetable oil so that it's about 1 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat to reach a temperature of 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by placing a small piece of tortilla in the oil; if it sizzles and floats to the surface, the oil is ready.
Step 3
Once the oil is heated, carefully place a few tortilla quarters into the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them as this can lead to uneven cooking. Fry the tortillas in batches if necessary.
Step 4
Fry the tortillas for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 5
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried tortillas from the oil, shaking off excess oil, and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any remaining oil.
Step 6
While the tortilla chips are still hot, sprinkle them with sea salt, ground black pepper, ground paprika, and garlic powder to taste. Toss gently to ensure even coating of the seasonings.
Step 7
Repeat the frying and seasoning process with any remaining tortilla quarters.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried tortillas immediately for maximum crunchiness. They can be enjoyed plain, or with your favorite dairy-free dips such as salsa, guacamole, or hummus.
