Ingredients
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 cup canola oil or other neutral oil
- 2-3 tablespoons ghost pepper powder
- Salt
Instructions
- Add the canola oil to a wide pot and heat to medium (should measure 350 degrees F). Do not let it boil or smoke. You know it’s ready when you add a crumb of tortilla and it sizzles up.
- Slice the tortillas into 6 wedges and fry them in the oil in batches a couple minutes per side, flipping here and there with tongs, until they begin to slightly brown.
- Remove and drain them on a paper towel lined plate. Dash them with salt and ghost pepper powder while they are hot.
- Add them to a bowl and toss them with more ghost pepper powder. It's important to do this while they are hot so the ghost pepper powder and salt stick to the chips.

Notes
Heat Factor: HOT! You'll get some excellent heat with these chips, especially if you're working with the freshest ghost pepper powder possible. Reduce the heat by using less powder, or making them with milder chili powders.
