To cook without oil, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Separate the tortilla wedges and arrange them, without overlapping, on a baking sheet. Place in the oven, and bake for 5 minutes. Turn and bake 5 minutes more, until toasted and crisp. To fry, pour oil into a heavy skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch. Heat over high heat until the oil sizzles when you dip in a corner of a tortilla wedge. Place as many wedges as will fit without overlapping into the oil and fry until they begin to puff, about 1 minutes. Turn with a spatula or slotted spoon and fry until crisp, about 1 1/2 minutes more, adjusting the heat as you go to keep the pieces from burning. Remove to paper towels to drain. Continue until all the wedges are crisped. Salt to taste and serve right away or cool and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
