Fried Tortilla Chips
Ingredients:
8 Corn tortillas (the best ones you can find)
Vegetable oil
Directions:
Arrange the tortillas in a stack and cut into 6 equal wedges. Pour about an
inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F on a
deep-fat frying thermometer. Fry just a few at a time, turning occasionally,
until crisp and lightly browned (about 1 minute or less). Drain on paper
towels; sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Store in an airtight
container.
Notes:
Even though the supermarkets provide a bewildering array of choices when it
comes to tortilla chips, these are worth the effort.

Sausage Dip:
½ lb. Lean ground beef
½ lb. Pork sausage
1 lb. Velveeta cheese
1 C Onion, finely chopped
1 C Chunky salsa (Mild, Hot or Hottest -- your choice)
½ can Cream of mushroom soup
2 Large cloves garlic, minced or put through a garlic press
Brown ground beef and sausage together until crumbly. Drain on paper towels
to remove as much fat as possible. Combine beef/sausage mixture in a heavy
saucepan, and add the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir over low heat
until cheese is melted, and mixture is thoroughly combined. Serve warm with
tortilla or corn chips. Makes 4 to 5 cups.
