To make homemade tortilla chips:
In skillet, heat oil over medium high heat for about 5 minutes. It should start to smoke slightly. Add corn tortilla triangles, making sure not to crowd them. Watch carefully to see if the oil is too hot. If the chips are browning too quickly, remove from heat and turn it down. The proper oil temperature will cook them on each side for approximately 1 minute.
Once they are a nice light golden brown color, remove from heat and place on paper towel lined plate.
Salt the chips as soon as you remove them from the oil so the salt soaks into the chip. Eat while the chips are hot and fresh.
