Ingredients

  • uncooked small corn tortillas I used one package
  • 2 1 ounce packets dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground onion
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • peanut oil or canola oil for frying

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a dutch oven or deep fryer and heat to 350F. You want about 2 inches of oil minimum.
  • Cut the uncooked tortillas into wedges, like pizza slices.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the ranch seasoning, paprika, garlic, onion, and salt. The seasoning works best super fine, so you can pulse in a blender if you would like, but its optional.
  • Working in batches, fry the tortillas until crispy, about 3 minutes per batch. I used a wooden spoon to press the tortillas down one at a time to let some of the air out, otherwise they can puff up very easily. Be careful with this step because the oil can bubble up.
  • Place the fried tortillas on a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle with seasoning. Toss to combine, then sprinkle the flip side. You want to do this right after removing from the oil. Allow to cool.
  • Repeat with the rest of the tortillas. This will make quite a bit of tortillas, about 5-6 dozen for the amount of seasoning. You can also keep the seasoning in an airtight container for later use!
  • Store chips in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
