Homemade Tortilla Chips
These homemade tortilla chips are crunchy, lightly spiced, and easy to make! Perfect for dipping or snacking, they’re gluten-free, vegan, and deliver irresistible flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 10 corn tortillas (6 inches)
- Canola or corn oil for frying
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the salt and ground chipotle pepper. This will be your seasoning blend.
- Cut each corn tortilla into 4 equally-sized wedges to create the chip shape.
- Heat 1 inch of oil in an electric skillet to a precise 350°F. This ensures the chips fry evenly without becoming too oily.
- Fry 6-8 tortilla wedges at a time, letting them cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully transfer the fried chips to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Once drained, place the chips in a large bowl and sprinkle the prepared salt mixture evenly over them. Toss gently to coat.
