Homemade Corn Chips

[lustar3232]

These are tortilla chips

[emmfc]

@lustar3232  If you are thinking along the lines of Fritos® as the prototypical corn chip, then you do indeed have a point. But remember that tortillas are made of corn.

[lustar3232]

@emmfc Wasn't putting down your video or anything like that, I was just really craving the Frito Corn Chips and didn't want to leave my house to get them and I thought i would find a YT video to show me how and instead found many videos like yours, lol.

[emmfc]

@lustar3232 Never for a moment did I think you were putting me down. No offense taken at all. Not at all. I wonder if DIY Fritos can be found on a clone site like Top Secret Recipes... I was just looking at some copies of the ever so sophisticated New Yorker Magazine from back in the 1940s. There's ads for Fritos in there! They are way popular!

[AntiChristClub]

When u was like um um ummm.

That disgusted me for some reason would of been a better ending in silence, only thing that should of been making noise was the chips and music IMO anyway thanks for showing me how to make corn chops.

[emmfc]

@AntiChristClub Thanks for the feedback. When I get a chance, I'll go in and modify the finish.

[TheCDIgroup]

[cipher2]

How do you make the tortillas and the bag?

[emmfc]

@cipher2 "How do you make the tortillas and the bag?" By getting out into the real world, applying for a job. Getting said job. Earning $1.50 then going to a food store and buying the fucking things. Capish?

[cipher2]

@emmfc, The video says homemade tortilla chips, not store bought and cooked, sooooooo I just wanted a recipe to make them, I know how to buy things cause I live in america. Oh yeah, "Getting said job." what does that even mean?!?...tardwipe. I'll go out and buy the bloody tortillas if you go and get yourself an elementary education, k.

[emmfc]

@cipher2 Tortilla rage? Holy shit. Okay, I will spell it out: HOMEMADE CORN CHIPS it says, not chips from homemade tortillas. HOMEMADE CORN CHIPS Not Homemade tortilla chips. Christ on a fucking crutch, get a goddamn sack of masa de harina and make your own tortillas for all I care. I just said I would show how to make the chips.

Have a nice day...

[dnave21]

@emmfc Thats what i do. Can I make homemade wraps for burritos with it to?

[emmfc]

@dnave21 Why not?

[Shmaynoria]

This is not from scratch, he's just using tortillas.

[emmfc]

@Shmaynoria That is a distinction without a difference. Tortillas are so idiotically labor intensive and you can get 2 pounds ready-made for a buck. So why bother? But I'll tell you what, I will make my own tortillas next time and then you can say it is not from scratch because I did not grow the corn myself. Thanks for the comment. See you at the Atlantic City Nit-Picker Convention next year...

[Shmaynoria]

@emmfc So like... Doesn't that mean that you're a nit-picker too? If you're going to be at the convention and all. :P

[emmfc]

@Shmaynoria That was my point. Who else but a nit-picker would make friggin' corn chips at home? :)

[Shmaynoria]

@emmfc So like... Doesn't that mean that you're a nit-picker too? If you're going to be at the convention and all. :P

[sonex1203]

you know doritos are tortilla chips they are like fritos but cut differently but homemade corn chips are much better

[jarmen2]

I never thought I would ever be able to make corn chips in my lifetime but here we have it. simple easy corn chips. How do they taste? and would you recommend any other seasoning apart from salt??

[emmfc]

@jarmen2 Whatever you like! Garlic salt, onion powder, even Cajun seasoning for some heat. The main thing is to add it while the chips are hot so it sticks. Let me know how it works.

[LastRqss]

but fritos are my favorite. lol. thanks for the tutorial~

[MilesB1975]

Please don't cut them balancing on the edge of the sink, You need all your fingers to dip in the salsa!

[emmfc]

@MilesB1975 Thanks for the concern! What you don't see here are pegs on the bottom of the board which secure it firmly in place. So it was not really balanced. That said, the pegs are worn down now and, alas, I am no longer able to use my little corner. And as you so rightly note, I will never be able to count to 10 if I continue anyway.

[theno1katzman]

again not from scratch, but at least it didn;t claim to be. I want to see corn chips being made from corn, using corn, maybe you'd use a blender to chop the corn up into a soft gel and then youd fry portions of them until they were crispy crackers called corn chips!

[emmfc]

@theno1katzman The best way to go from near scratch is to buy Masa Harina and make your own tortillas. But that is so labor intensive and tortillas are sooooo inexpensive that I find this is the way to go.

[TheGreatTrashy]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MowWow44]

omg! can't believe she don't even know how to sharpen a knife - I doin't think that's even used to sharpen a knife.lol

[emmfc]

@MowWow44 Of course it is. You could shave with that knife...

[lakeview255]

haha .. sorry

[lakeview255]

OK .. Thanks .. If you ever go to chilli's restaurant try there chips and salsa they are addicting .

[emmfc]

@lakeview255

It is not even eleven in the morning and you have me drooling on my keyboard!

I will definitely try that.

[lakeview255]

Do they taste like the ones at chilli's ?

[emmfc]

Hmmmmm. I don't know. I have never been there. But they are as good as the chips at any top Tex-Mex place.

[fatpeter311]

thanx for the video!

what is the music?

[emmfc]

@fatpeter311 I don't recall. It has been 3 years. I will try to look in my files. (waiting for a replacement DVD Drive)

Thanks for the kind words. These really are delicious and simple.

[wagechi29]

thanks for this video. i was about to go buy a bag but now i'll just make them myself :)

[emmfc]

Outstanding!

Now if only I could master the art of making my own tortillas...

[whydothegoodieyoung]

i want some..i might go make a batch

[emmfc]

Me too! I crave salt...

[saltysalty67]

i don't understand your comment.That;s what chips are. fried corn tortillas.

[emmfc]

Right. I was confused as well. Maybe s/he does not know...

[emmfc]

These are indeed corn chips, made from corn tortillas, which are what we show being cut. They are WAY delicious!

Thanks for watching, though.

[JeffThePoustman]

Looks SO DELICIOUS!

[emmfc]

Thanks! I have not made these in a long time. Maybe I should...

[berlinrelic]

great with friench dressing

[LaurenTurtles]

THANK YOU

[BBOYJAYTEE]

hahaha cool chop sticks works wonders in the kitchen

[Blueeyesultimatedrag]

zomg i tried ur recipe and it was SO delicious you rock!!!

[justenoughrope]

Fritos are so salty and oily that I get stomach aches from them so I don't eat them anymore, at least when you make your own you can control that part of it. Homemade food is so much better for you anyhow. Good stuff, I want some of that!
