First thing to do is to stack your tortillas into a few piles (6 each will do it). With a good, sharp knife, cut each stack into 8 equal wedges. For larger chips, cut into 6 equal wedges. Spread out your newly cut tortilla wedges on some paper towels.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Pour oil into your electric fryer, deep fryer or a deep, heavy pot. Make sure you pour the oil to a depth of 4 to 5 inches. The oil should also not come up more than halfway up the side of your frying container.

When the temperature registers between 375 and 400 degrees F on a deep fat thermometer, start adding your tortilla wedges - one handful at a time. Fry for 1 minute. Stir a couple of times.

Don't do what I did the first time, and crowd your corn tortilla chips. They get too soggy that way. Give them a little breathing room. Fry your chips just until they look crisp, but not brown.

With a slotted spoon, transfer your chips to paper towels and season with salt. For a variation, sprinkle with your favorite seasoned salt like Spike or Dash.

Continue frying the chips until you have used up all of your tortilla wedges. Make sure you check the temperature each time before you put a new batch in. If the temperature isn't hot enough, you'll never have nice crispy, fresh tasting tortilla chips.

It's great if you can serve them warm, but if not, they will last for a day or two.

I've found a nice way to present your homemade chips is to make them with different kinds of corn tortillas (yellow, blue, etc.) Everyone that eats them will appreciate the time and effort (which isn't much, but your guests don't have to know that!) you put into them and will enjoy the taste even more. Have Fun!
