Flour tortilla chips are easy to make with this simple recipe! We first had these while on vacation in the Caribbean. We now prefer these to store-bought corn tortilla chips.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil for frying
- 8 (10 inch) flour tortillas, each cut into 8 triangles
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat until 360 degrees F (182 degrees C), about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Lower tortilla triangles carefully into the hot oil in batches; fry, turning frequently, until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tortilla triangles.
Editor’s Notes:
We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
