Paul’s Favorite Snack, Tortilla Chips

How is everyone? We are winding down. Jamie has been gone all afternoon. He had an after school program and then ran home for 30 minutes and gobbled down a bowl of Spaghetti O’s and then was off again for choir practice. Matthew had swim and Sarah sat here in the family room eating popcorn, drinking hot chocolate and watching Hoarders. Looks like now, we are about to watch the latest Doctor Who:) I think it’s the season finale (here in the US). The kids are all fed and I’m working on mine and Paul’s – Beef Bourguignon jeux poker video gratuit

So, Paul’s a huge snacker. He loves his snackies. I think, though, his favorite would be the tortilla chips I make him. They really are a no brainer. About 12 years ago, I went to a Christmas party and the hostess had made her own chips. I have to say I was so impressed, even after I saw how simple it was. Since then, it’s what he wants between 10:30 p.m. and midnight for his snack:) Enjoy!:)

OK, HERE’S What You Need:

Package White Tortillas

Oil

Salt

HERE’S What You Do:

Yep, that's 11:20 P.M. The things I do for my husband...

Melt your shortening in a skillet - probably about 3 inches. (I love my big black skillets;)

Blanca I guess you could use Amarillo but I use Blanca

About this many.

Cut into quarters.

This is the official "chip" basket. Yeah, I think it's probably one of those old DQ baskets from way back when. Throw some paper towel over in there.

Put a few at a time into your grease. Don't crowd. I use tongs to fry with. The first batch may take a bit longer (not TO long mind you!) than the second and third batches. Turn often You can start to feel them harden. It literally only takes less than a couple of minutes for each batch. When you take them out, make sure you let them drain really well. Nothing is worse than scalding grease pouring out onto you.... Just ask Paul:(
