Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt substitute
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Cut each of the 8 corn tortillas into 6 wedges, creating a total of 48 pieces.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt substitute, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and lime zest. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is hot enough.
Carefully add a small batch of tortilla wedges to the hot oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Do not overcrowd the skillet.
Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried tortillas to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle them with the prepared seasoning mix, ensuring an even coating.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla wedges, always allowing the oil to return to the ideal temperature between batches.
Serve the crispy fried tortillas warm as a low sodium snack or enjoy them with your favorite low-sodium dips.
