Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 tortillas
Oils:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) avocado oil or vegetable oil
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Instructions
- Slice corn tortillas into eight equal triangular wedges using a sharp knife.
- Pour avocado or vegetable oil into a skillet, heating to medium-high temperature around 350°F, or prepare an air fryer/oven at 375°F.
- Carefully place tortilla triangles into hot oil, ensuring they do not overlap, and fry until edges turn golden brown and crisp, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Alternatively, arrange tortilla pieces on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake until edges curl and surfaces become crunchy, rotating the tray midway through cooking.
- Remove chips using a slotted spoon or tongs, allowing excess oil to drain on paper towels.
- While chips are still piping hot, generously dust with preferred seasoning blend, ensuring even coverage across all pieces.
- Transfer seasoned chips to a wire cooling rack to prevent sogginess, allowing them to crisp up further and reach room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Swap corn tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free options to accommodate different dietary needs.
- Pat tortillas completely dry before cutting to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent oil splatter.
- Experiment with spice blends like za’atar, ranch seasoning, or everything bagel seasoning for unique flavor profiles.
- Store chips in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness for 2-3 days, reheating briefly in the oven if they lose their crisp texture.
