In your skillet, heat up 2 c. of oil to 325⁰ F.
Once your oil is hot, take one of your tortilla triangles and dip it in the oil. If upon entry of the oil, the tortilla bubbles on the edge rapidly, then the oil is ready.
Once the oil is ready, add in about 5-6 tortilla triangles at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet.
Cook the tortilla chips on each side for about 20-30 seconds. Do not walk away from the skillet while cooking your chips, as they can over cook very quickly if left unattended.
The perfect chip should be slightly golden and crispy. They should break easily with little pressure.
After every batch of chips is done. Use your slotted spoon to move your chips to a plate with paper towels to soak up the excess oil.
As soon as you can, sprinkle kosher salt and a splash of Tajin on the freshly cooked chips.
Repeat steps until all of your chips are done. Serve with my recipe for fresh Guacamole and/or Salsa. Enjoy!
