Cut the tortillas in half, then cut them into ½-inch strips along the short end.
Heat ½-inch of vegetable oil to 350°F in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat.
Working in batches, fry a handful of the tortilla strips for about 45-90 seconds or until lightly browned. If the strips are browning too quickly, turn down the heat.
Transfer the strips to a baking sheet lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon. Immediately season with flaky sea salt and allow to cool before serving.
To Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray each side of the tortillas with olive oil. Cut them in half and then into ½-inch strips along the short end.
Place the strips on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and bake for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
If the tortilla strips are browning too quickly during tfrying turn down the heat.
