If you’ve got some stale tortillas lying around, don’t toss them out. Transform them into these golden, crunchy delights. With just three simple ingredients—corn tortillas, salt, and oil—you’ll be snacking like a pro in no time.

First things first, grab your tortillas and a knife&hvadid=719737736360&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9014016&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=4304362975742278753–&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4304362975742278753&hvtargid=kwd-332465824708&hydadcr=28544_14555830&linkCode=ll2&tag=recipe-aisle-20&linkId=1efe785d11207b6cec7af25b776bd528&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl’>sharp knife or pizza cutter. Cut each tortilla into six perfect little triangles. Don’t worry about being too precise; the beauty is in the rustic charm.

Next, let’s get that oil hot and ready. Place a heavy, high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. You want the oil to reach about 350°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, just drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil. If it sizzles, you’re good to go!

Now, it’s time to fry! Add a single layer of tortilla triangles to the hot oil. They should fit in the skillet without overlapping. Use tongs to flip the chips continuously until they turn a beautiful pale golden brown, about 2 minutes. If they’re browning too quickly, just reduce the heat.

Once the chips are golden and crispy, use a spider or slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet. Let them drain off the excess oil while you repeat the process with the remaining tortillas. Don’t forget to add more oil to the pan as needed.

Finally, sprinkle those beauties with a generous pinch of salt and serve them up! They’re perfect for game day, Cinco de Mayo, or any taco night. Pair them with your favorite dip—salsa, guacamole, or even a creamy cheese dip. The possibilities are endless!

Here’s a little tip: Don’t bother with baked or air-fried tortilla chips. They just don’t compare to the light, crispy perfection of these fried chips. Trust us, it’s totally worth it!

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the recipe aisle, grab those tortillas, and let’s get frying! Your taste buds will thank you.
