Makes as many as you want (or need)
These are pretty much one of the easiest things you can make. The key tho is to start with dry-ish corn tortillas. If you don’t have stale ones, you can:
Put em on a rack on a baking sheet and put them into the oven at 350 for 5-6 minutes.
Put em in a single layer on paper towels in the microwave about 30-45 seconds
And…we cook:
For oil - Cut them into the shape you want - I mostly want triangles, so stack the tortillas and cut into 6 wedges - more just makes them too small. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large pan to 350 degrees, and slowly add the wedges, in a single layer. Fry them until beginning to get golden and crisp - about 2 minutes. Remove to papers towels, let dry a bit then season with kosher salt - repeat with remaining chips.
In the oven - Preheat oven to 350, brush both sides of tortillas with a small amount of neutral oil, cut into wedges, put on a rack on a baking sheet (in a single layer) and bake until golden and crispy about 12 to 15 minutes. But they can go from perfect to burnt quickly, so def keep an eye on them.
