Homemade Tortilla Strips
Skip the bland bagged tortilla strips. These homemade tortilla strips are fried at 350 degrees F for a deeply crisp texture, with simple oil-temperature and frying tips that help you get them golden instead of greasy.
Ingredients
- Vegetable or canola oil for frying
- 4 corn tortillas
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 inch oil in high-sided skillet and heat over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when it reaches 350 degrees F. An instant-read thermometer is the easiest and safest way to know when the oil is ready.
- Line rimmed baking pan with paper towel.
- Slice tortillas in half lengthwise, then slice them crosswise into 1/2″ strips.
- In batches, transfer tortilla strips to oil and fry 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to prepared pan and immediately sprinkle with salt.
- Continue process with remaining tortilla strips until all are fried.
