Easy way to make tortilla chips.
Buy a bag of corn tortillas, and cut them into 4-6 slices. With a moderately sharp knife you can just push through the whole stack.
Deep fry them in 350 deg. vegetable oil until they just start to change color (about 5 minutes).
Put them into a paper bag, sprinkle with salt, and shake the bag.
Wah-lah, you have tortilla chips!
There are a few advantages to making your own. You can freeze the tortillas and have them on hand any time. You can add as much or as little salt as you want. No broken chips. The ones I make are slightly thicker, and tend to hold up to dipping much better than the bag varieties.
