Notes
• For a little color and more flavor, try lightly sprinkling the chips with smoked paprika.
• The chips keep well in zip-lock bags at room temperature for up to three days.
• Instead of deep frying, the tortillas can be brushed with the oil and baked at 350F until light golden brown, flipping once while baking.
