Homemade tortilla chips: Place 1 quart of oil in a pot & heat on medium high heat (not on high or your oil will be too hot) Meanwhile take fresh corn tortillas & cut the stack in half & in half again making wedges.. to test oil place 1 tortilla wedge into the oil if it bubbles up the oil is ready if it sinks it’s not… fry until golden brown & drain & salt lightly
