Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Cut each of the 8 corn tortillas into 6 wedges, creating a total of 48 pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the salt substitute, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and lime zest. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Step 4
Carefully add a small batch of tortilla wedges to the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Step 5
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer the fried tortillas to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle them with the prepared seasoning mix, ensuring an even coating.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla wedges, always allowing the oil to return to the ideal temperature between batches.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried tortillas warm as a low sodium snack or enjoy them with your favorite low-sodium dips.
