Homemade Tortilla Chips Tips<\/h2>

Why are my homemade tortilla chips chewy?<\/h3>If your homemade tortilla chips are chewy, chances are the oil temperature was too low when you added the tortillas, and they ended up soaking up too much oil as they cooked. To ensure a crisp chip, hold off on frying the tortillas until your oil tests are at exactly 350\u00b0F. Additionally, fry the tortillas in smaller batches to avoid overcrowding, which could also result in greasier, chewier chips. Find more tips on oil tips<\/a> and which oils are best for frying<\/a>.

How do you keep homemade tortilla chips fresh?<\/h3>Homemade tortilla chips taste best the day they are made, but they can be stored for up to one week in an airtight container. For extra freshness, stack layers of chips between paper towels. But these chips are so delicious, we guarantee they won\u2019t stick around for long!

What goes with tortilla chips?<\/h3>Pair your homemade tortilla chips with homemade guacamole<\/a>. You also can\u2019t go wrong with one of our top 10 salsa recipes<\/a>.
