Ingredients You'll Need:
1. Corn Tortillas
The key to achieving the perfect Chipotle tortilla chips lies in the type of tortillas you use. Look for high-quality corn tortillas made with just a few simple ingredients. Avoid those with preservatives or added flavorings.
2. Oil for Frying
To achieve that signature crispy texture, you'll need to fry your tortillas in oil. Vegetable or canola oil are good options, but you can also use avocado oil for a healthier alternative.
3. Salt
A sprinkle of salt is all you need to bring out the flavors of the tortilla chips. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder or cumin, for an extra kick of flavor.
Instructions:
1. Cut the Tortillas
Start by cutting your corn tortillas into triangles. You can cut them in half, then cut each half into three triangles.
2. Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat your oil over medium-high heat. You'll know it's ready when you drop a small piece of tortilla in and it sizzles.
3. Fry the Tortillas
In batches, carefully add the tortilla triangles to the hot oil. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Drain and Season
Remove the chips from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While they are still hot, sprinkle them with salt or any other desired seasonings.
5. Let Cool and Enjoy!
Allow the chips to cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a few days.
And there you have it, your very own batch of delicious Chipotle tortilla chips! Serve them with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or queso for a tasty snack or as a side to your homemade burrito bowls. These chips are sure to impress your family and friends, and they'll never know you made them at home. So next time you're craving some Chipotle, skip the long lines and try making your own tortilla chips instead. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
