Homemade Corn Tortilla Chips

Mr. Gracious had been raving about homemade corn tortilla chips one of his buddies makes at work. ย He insisted they'll fulfill all of my crunchy, fried chip fantasies. ย And well, since I just kicked Homemade Corn Tortillas off my foodie bucket list, I was ready to give his chips a try. ย These chips are actually brought to you by Mr. Gracious, and I must say he did a fabulous job.

He actually made 2 batches. ย One with the homemade corn tortillas that I made. ย These chips were thicker and very capable scooping chunkier dips. They reminder me of the corn tortilla chips that are sold in the brown paper bags, or ones you get at authentic Mexican restaurants.

The second batch of tortilla chips, he used store-bought corn tortillas. ย These were more delicate, better for dips like queso. ย But they were really amazing. ย When he fried them up, they bubbled up and separated into layers, creating lots of crunch and texture. ย If I had to pick one, I'd say these were my favorite.

If you're looking to grab a fryer, we've had this fryer for a few years, and it's a great little fryer, especially for the price.
