Everything tastes better on a homemade tortilla chip.
This is what you will need.
One frying pan
Large bowl
Paper towels
Canola oil
Corn tortillas
Salt
Fresh lime (Lime juice concentrate will do)
Put enough oil in your frying pan to cover several layers of corn tortillas. Turn your range top up to medium high and wait for the oil to heat up.
Cut your corn tortillas into sixths -- cut them in half then cut the halfs into thirds. Pretend you're cuting a pie. Cut a stack of tortillas all at once to get the job done faster.
Place a few layers of paper towels in a bowl. You'll drain and season your finished chips here later.
Check to see if your oil is hot enough by dropping a tiny drop of water in the oil. If it bubbles, it's hot enough. You may also notice the oil moving around the bottom of the pan. That's also a sign it's hot enough.
Gently drop your triangles into the hot oil. Put several layers, but don't overfill your pan or they won't cook evenly. Turn them once or twice. When they're light golden brown remove them and place in your bowl with paper towels.
Drizzle lightly with lime juice and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with your remaining uncooked triangles.
Watchout -- the bowl may already be empty by the time you finish frying the next batch! So good!
