Ghost Pepper Chips

Make your own extra spicy ghost pepper chips at home with this recipe. Homemade spicy tortilla chips are hotter than anything you’ll get in the store.

Ingredients:

• • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup canola oil or other neutral oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons Jerry’s original ghost pepper powder (or make your own from our ghost peppers)
  • 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.
