It's been forever since I've posted...I have lots and lots of food experiences to share, including my trip to Costa Rica. I just need to get back to it! Today's experiment involved a little danger and corn tortillas. They are pretty tasty, like a lighter, less greasy version of a Frito. I ate a few and then tossed them, 'cause I really got to knock off the junk food.
I caught something on the Food Network about making homemade chips, and seeing as how I'm a little bored, and seeing as how I prefer to TALK about losing weight instead of putting on my running shoes...I peered into the fridge and yanked out some leftover tortillas from an enchalada making marathon I had last weekend.
Easy-peasy instructions...
take stack of corn tortillas and cut into quarters...
heat up vegetable oil until it looks about right...
throw in a chip to test..should sizzle and scoot about.
Stare at the amazing way they puff up like a little pillow.
Turn when lightly brown..which is pretty darn quick by the way...seconds! take out and drain on paper toweling and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with a 3-4 chips at a time.
Ignore the fact the kitchen is full of smoke until the smoke alarm by the front door goes off. Open sliding glass door. Turn off the heat when that goes off. Turn on kitchen ceiling fan.
Put coat on.
Remember that your boyfriend told you to get a fire extinguisher. Twice.
