How do you fry tortillas?

Ingredients:

* Tortillas (corn or flour)

* Oil (vegetable, canola, or your preference)

Equipment:

* Large skillet or frying pan

* Tongs or spatula

* Paper towels

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil: Pour about 1/4 inch of oil into your skillet and heat over medium-high heat. You want the oil to be hot enough to sizzle when you add the tortillas.

2. Fry the tortillas: Carefully place one tortilla into the hot oil. Fry for about 30-60 seconds per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of your tortillas and the heat of your stove.

3. Remove and drain: Use tongs or a spatula to remove the tortilla from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Repeat: Continue frying the remaining tortillas in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet.

5. Serve immediately: Enjoy your freshly fried tortillas with your favorite toppings or as a side dish.

Tips:

* Control the heat: Too high of heat will burn the tortillas before they get crispy. Too low of heat will make them soggy.

* Watch carefully: Tortillas can cook quickly, so keep a close eye on them to prevent overcooking.

* Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the temperature of the oil will drop, and the tortillas won't fry evenly.

* Variations: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt or garlic powder to the oil before frying the tortillas.

Enjoy!
