Fresh Fried Tortilla Chips

Why pay $3 for a bag of chips when you can make your own for less than $1

At the local bodega I bought 4 packs of tortillas for $1

Recipes online called for a lot of oil – I used a cast iron deep skillet and filled it a couple of inches with canola oil – (preheated the skillet before adding the oil and let the oil get hot)

I cut two packs of the tortillas into triangular pieces and seperated them from each other and then put a couple into the oil at a time – let them fry for around 30 seconds or more and then put them onto paper towels to soak up the oil. After I put the next batch in I would sprinkle some salt on the ones drying.
