Nachos!

My sister and her husband gave me a deep fryer for my birthday. It’s really for my husband though. He’s so excited about this. Tonight we’re going to deep fry pickles. If they’re successful then I’ll post results! In the meantime, check out what we did the other night. We made nachos. We even made our own tortilla chips! First, I used my big pizza cutter to cut the tortillas into quarters. We used white corn tortillas from Mission. . Then we popped them into the deep fryer for just a couple of minutes until they were crisp. We drained them on a cookie cooling rack (a tip we learned from Alton Brown.) . I cheffed up some seasoned ground beef & onions which we piled on top of the chips. We added sour cream, salsa & a little cilantro and voila! Nachos! We were very impressed with our chips. No little punk crumbs like you get in the bag at the store. All nice, uniform crispy chips. Although, in our little fryer we could only do 6-8 at a time. Now that we’ve been successful with our first frying venture, the possibilities are endless!
