Chipotle Tortilla Chips Copycat
These taste way better than the bagged stuff and cost about half as much. The lime juice is what makes them taste like Chipotle's - don't skip it.
Ingredients
Ingredients (~40 chips)
- 10 corn tortillas

- 3 cups frying oil, sunflower, peanut, or avocado

- Stack tortillas and cut into quarters.
- Heat oil in heavy skillet to 350F.

Notes
Use a thermometer or test oil temperature with a tortilla piece. Chips lose crispness quickly when cool.
