Prep Time: 1 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 12 corn tortillas cut into 6-8 wedges
- oil for frying
- salt to taste
Preparation:
This recipe is a great reason to get out your deep fryer, but if you don't have one, use about 3/4 cup of oil in a medium frying pan. If you use a deep fryer, follow the manufacturers instructions.
For pan frying-
Heat oil over medium-high heat for about a minute. Drop a crumb of tortilla into the oil, if it sinks, it's not hot enough. If it bubbles and comes to the top, it's perfect.
Slide pieces into oil using a slotted spoon or spatula just a few at a time. Let pieces fry until golden brown and crispy, less than one minute. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately or store in a tightly covered container.
