HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

TORTILLA CHIP CHILAQUILES

Steps:

• Heat the chile pepper and garlic in a dry 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the chile is pliable and the garlic is browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly; remove the stem from the chile and peel the garlic. Transfer the chile and garlic to a blender (reserve the skillet). Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth and cumin; puree until almost smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Slowly add the tomato mixture (it will splatter) and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, without flipping, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Gently stir the tortilla chips into the tomato sauce in two batches until coated. Remove from the heat and top with the eggs, radishes, red onion, cilantro and/or Cotija cheese.

• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

FLOUR TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut tortillas into 1-inch-wide strips; discard any leftover rounded end pieces. Alternatively, cut tortillas into 8 wedges. Place cut tortillas on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Collect the tortillas into 2 tall stacks and cut into 6 even wedges. If frying your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 2. If baking your tortilla chips, proceed to Step 3.
• To fry your tortilla chips, line 2 large baking sheets with paper towels. Set aside. Fill a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet with about 1/2 inch vegetable oil (about 4 cups). Heat over medium until the oil reaches about 350 degrees and is hot but not smoking, 6 to 10 minutes. You can see if it's ready by dipping a tortilla wedge into the hot oil. It should bubble immediately and enthusiastically. Gently add enough tortilla wedges to fill the skillet in a single layer without crowding, and fry for about 1 minute per side, using a spider or a slotted spoon to flip them over, until lightly golden and crisp. (Do not allow them to brown too much or they will taste bitter.) Using the spider or slotted spoon, transfer the chips to the prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle immediately with salt, so it adheres to the glistening chips. Repeat until all chips are cooked, transferring cooled chips to a large bowl and replacing the paper towels as needed. (Let the remaining oil cool to room temperature, then strain and transfer to a bottle to reuse it for future deep frying.)
• To bake your tortilla chips, position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and heat to 375 degrees. Brush 2 large baking sheets with oil or spray with cooking spray. Working in batches, scatter the tortilla wedges on top in a single layer without crowding too much. (The chips should barely overlap.) Lightly brush or spray the tops with oil or cooking spray. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, remove from the oven, flip the chips and return to the oven, until lightly browned and crisp, another 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Immediately sprinkle with salt to taste, so the salt will stick to the chips. Repeat with remaining chips.

HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together and knead until just smooth and round into a ball (about 4-5 minutes). Dust the dough with flour lightly then leave to rest for half an hour under a tea towel or cling film. This doesn't rise as there is no yeast but does need time for the gluten to begin to develop
• Split the dough into either six or eight equal pieces, depending on how big you want your tortillas. You can either do this by sight (chop the dough in half and so on) or, to get the tortillas as equal as possible, weigh the dough and work out the weight for an eighth or tenth of that total. Then weigh portions out accordingly
• Put your frying pan on the hob over a medium-high heat
• Flour your work surface and roll out a ball of dough thinly (about 1-2 mm thick) and to as close to a circle as possible. Don't worry if it's a wonky 'circle' as that's all part of the hand-made charm (please note these tortillas are a little more tricky to handle than normal flour tortillas and will need a little extra flour on your work surface to stop them sticking)
• Pop the tortilla on the frying pan and toast on the first side until it is getting dark brown but not burnt. This will only be a minute or even less so keep a keen eye on it. Flip over and repeat on the other side
• While the first tortilla is dry-frying roll out the next one, but bear in mind how quick they cook! Repeat until all tortillas are browned on both sides
• When the soft tortillas are made, cut them into eight wedges each
• Have a few sheets of paper towel ready. Also, have a small bowl ready and the salt and paprika to hand
• Pour a layer of oil into the same frying pan, to a few millimeters - it doesn't have to be a huge amount of oil
• Fry as many tortilla wedges at a time as you can fit in the frying pan - fry for about one minute on each side, flipping them over as they puff up a little and brown lightly. Take them out and place on the kitchen towel to get rid of any excess oil
• Immediately (while still hot) place them in the small bowl and sprinkle over a little salt and the smoked paprika, toss them so they are covered and set aside.
• Repeat steps 10 and 11 until all of the tortillas are fried and seasoned. Serve when they are cooled and have crisped up. They'll keep for a couple of days in an airtight container

HOMEMADE TORTILLAS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Stir in water and oil. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-12 times, adding a little flour or water if needed to achieve a smooth dough. Let rest for 10 minutes., Divide dough into 8 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 7-in. circle., In a greased cast-iron or other heavy skillet, cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned, 1 minute on each side. Serve warm.

BAKED TORTILLA CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cut each tortilla into 8 chip sized wedges and arrange the wedges in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
• In a mister, combine the oil and lime juice. Mix well and spray each tortilla wedge until slightly moist.
• Combine the cumin, chili powder and salt in a small bowl and sprinkle on the chips.
• Bake for about 7 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 8 minutes or until the chips are crisp, but not too brown. Serve with salsas, garnishes or guacamole.
