This is how to fry tortilla chips: just as the other methods, you would need the same ingredients except for the oil. You would require at least 2 cups of oil (about half a litre) to fry the chips.
Place a pan on medium-high heat and heat until hot or about 350C. Test the oil for hotness by dropping a flour tortilla into it and if it floats then your oil is ready to use. Fry the tortilla wedges in batches ensuring they are not overlapping so they can cook evenly.
Fry until golden brown but not burnt. Use a slotted spoon to take the chips out of the oil and place on a kitchen towel to drain excess oil. Season with salt or other spices while it is still hot. Leave to cool and serve as desired.
