How to make tortilla chips

This recipe is very easy and you don’t need many ingredients to make it. You will need masa harina to make tortilla chips. You can get it at a Latin food store. Combine three cups with half a tablespoon of salt and add enough water to get a thick batter. If you like, you can also add a little oil.

The dough should taste slightly salty rather than very salty. Roll dough into two-inch balls and press into small flat circles with waxed paper and a tortilla press. If you don’t have a tortilla press, you can use a couple of heavy pots.

Heat a skillet until very hot, then fry the tortillas until golden brown. This takes half a minute per side. Cut each one into wedges when they have cooled down a bit.

Heat three inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heat your deep fryer. Fry the tortilla chips in batches. Make sure you don’t overload the pan and keep an eye on them while they cook. They may need to be flipped somewhere during cooking time.
