Simple homemade Tortilia chips/nachos in a snap!


Kitchen Chase, Keeping Meals simple, Keeping you Satisfied

Quick snack when your out of ideas or items? PERFECT, bet you have some flour/corn tortillas! Here you go, simple and so delicious I wish more restaurants would serve these. My 15 year old swears by these and I'm sure you will too! Most of us think of Chips being made of only corn tortillias, and corn is actually my favorite? Well it depends, but when I have a craving for "Chips" al'a espano'l then corn or flour doesn't matter to me, and honestly, FLOUR is much more filling! So try making with flour for a change.

Quite simply, "Flour" tortillas, How ever many you have or want to cook up.

Cut into 1/4 or 1/8 if they are the JUMBO burrito size.

LARGE pan, use ONLY Lard/Crisco type, about 2 huge spoonfuls into the fry pan.

Heat on Med/High (don't let it smoke or it's too hot!)

I put 4-5 cut flour torts in and turn to golden brown on all sides remove onto a paper towel plate, and here is the "Kicker"

ONLY use Fresh ground Sea Salt! not too much but enough for that salt craving, and OH by the way SALT is a good thing for your body, without it, you'll die!

Serve up with any salsa or eat just with the salt. I usually make a pot of beans at least once a week, very cost effective during these interesting financial times, and they go a long way. It's fun and delicious to take the now flour tort chips and put in a pie tin, add a couple spoonfuls of the refrigerated beans, grade some "Sharp" cheddar cheese, and pop into the oven/toaster oven on broil for just a few short 2-3 hot minutes. Viola'! dinamite home made nacho's, add some chopped jalipino's if you like, make some fun guicaamoli and enjoy!
