In a skillet or Dutch oven, add enough oil to reach about 1/2 to 1″ deep. Over medium-high heat, heat to 350 degrees F.

Add, a small handful or two of tortilla strips at time to the oil. Cook, stirring slowly several times, until the tortilla strips are golden brown. Remove from oil using a spider or slotted spoon. Place on a paper bag if available, paper towels if not, to drain. Salt and or season asap. Repeat until tortilla strips are used up.
