Recipe #17 - Fried Tortilla Chips

| Tuesday, February 3, 2009

What do you do with a load of corn salsa?  Make tortilla chips, obviously.

I've done this sort of thing before, and this recipe was basically no different.  Fresh chips are definitely a nice change of pace.  The only issue is getting them out quickly enough.  People seem to nibble on them as you're making them, so you have to be quick.

I setup the fryer with a bunch of corn oil and heated it to about 350.  I sliced up some corn tortillas into 1/4ths and fried them for about 2:00 each batch.  When they're out, I poured some salt and sometimes lime juice on them.

These really were no different from other ones I've made in the past.  That's not a bad thing because I like them, but I was hoping for some sort of magical revelation.  Oh well, they were still really good.

Notes: Thanks to Marty for helping me crank these out quickly.

Modifications: How about flour tortillas next time?  Also, maybe an extra 15-30 seconds would make them crisper for nachos.

Make again?: Yep.  This specific recipe was nothing different, but it's a solid thing to make at home.
