Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips

Happy Cinco de Mayo! As many of you know, I was raised in California. Besides my family and friends, the one thing I really miss is good Mexican food! Just before my husband and I moved to Virginia we lived a few blocks from a hole-in-the-wall Mexican Restaurant. They had the best homemade chips! I would sometimes stop just for the chips. They would make the chips when you ordered so they were hot and fresh.

Homemade tortilla chips are easy to make. They are not healthy due to the frying so I do not make them often! At Harris Teeter last week I ended up with FREE corn tortillas. I made tortilla chips tonight and I thought I would share with you! And I will warn you again, this is totally not a  healthy recipe but something that is a yummy treat every once in awhile!

Use a Pizza Cutter to cut the tortilla into triangles. Frying tortilla chips

Heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Ad the tortilla pieces in the hot oil. Cook for a minute or two. I flip mine half way through cooking.

Drain on a paper towel when done and sprinkle with season salt. I like mine just barely crispy. Cook a bit longer for a sharp crisp. Enjoy with salsa or plain!
