This is a great way to use up any extra tortilla shells you might have in your cupboards. I've have come to learn that the best chips are made from slightly stale/hard tortilla shells. Enjoy!

They are delicious!

I like to add some chilli powder and/or ground habanero pepper for extra kick. You can season these however you like to make many different flavored chips.

Simple salt-flavored tortilla chips weren't available in my neighborhood before, so I've been making my own chips for a while. They're a hit when I serve them to guests with avocado dip, so this has been in my standard repertoire for 12 years.If you are using store-bought corn tortillas, cut them into triangles with scissors.In Step 3, if you find the tortilla mix hard to handle, coat your hands in oil and roll it into balls.Since the chips are served with dip, I didn't salt them. They are delicious when freshly fried, and simply flavored with salt and spices of your choice.Spread the mixture thinly for crispy results. Recipe by Brandy
