ingredients
-
TO FRY
- 2 cups Crisco shortening, plain style
- 8 flour tortillas, high fiber, cut into 8 wedges each
-
Sweet Option
- 1⁄2 cup Splenda granular, artificial sweetener
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
-
Savory Option
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne
directions
- Have your toppings measured out and in brown paper bags ready to shake the chips inches.
- Get the Crisco hot in a cast iron pan. When it is sizzling add the chips and turn them when they blister and bubble and get a toasty brown. Just remember to work fast and don't walk away from the pan. Drain on brown paper bags or paper towels (the bags seem to work best for this). Do not cool. Put them into the seasoning bags as you cook them and give them a shake, coating all.
- Serve warm.

OPTIONAL:
- Make extras and serve with salsa, chopped olives and grated cheddar.

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas!
Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments.
My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL!
