Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. This can be done easily by stacking a few tortillas at a time and slicing them with a sharp knife.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) if you have a kitchen thermometer.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried tortilla pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5
While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle them evenly with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are well-seasoned.
Step 6
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla pieces, ensuring the oil returns to the desired temperature between batches.
Step 7
Let the tortillas cool for a few minutes—they will become crispier as they cool down.
Step 8
Serve immediately as they are or with your favorite vegan dips and toppings. These are perfect for nachos, as a base for taco salad, or as a crunchy snack on their own.
