Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges. This can be done easily by stacking a few tortillas at a time and slicing them with a sharp knife.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) if you have a kitchen thermometer.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few tortilla wedges to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried tortilla pieces and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the tortillas are still warm, sprinkle them evenly with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss gently to ensure all pieces are well-seasoned.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining tortilla pieces, ensuring the oil returns to the desired temperature between batches.
Let the tortillas cool for a few minutes—they will become crispier as they cool down.
Serve immediately as they are or with your favorite vegan dips and toppings. These are perfect for nachos, as a base for taco salad, or as a crunchy snack on their own.
