FAQS

  1. Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas for this recipe?

    While you can use flour tortillas, corn tortillas will give you a more authentic nacho chip flavor and texture. Corn tortillas are recommended for the best results.

  2. What type of oil is best for frying the tortilla chips?

    You can use any neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil, for frying the tortilla chips.

  3. How can I make these chips spicier?

    To add some heat, you can mix in cayenne pepper or chili powder with the ranch seasoning and paprika before dusting the chips.

  4. Is it necessary to bake the chips after frying?

    Baking the chips is optional but recommended if you want extra crunch. Baking them at 275°F for 5-10 minutes can help dehydrate them further.

  5. How should I store leftover chips?

    Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week to maintain their crunchiness.
