Second application of the Ballpark Franks (see most recently 17.065 Chilidogs with Hormel Chili & Ballpark Franks), this time cut up into thin slices as a supporting player in the chili.

Seeing a “hack” video on the Allrecipes YouTube channel featuring chips made with flour tortillas (see 15 Tortilla Hacks You Need to Try), I was intrigued, both by its simplicity and by the opportunity it presents to use up stale tortillas.

The chips were okay. Cut into triangles, deep-fried for about 10 seconds on each side, drained, seasoned with salt – super quick and easy. But a too sweet for my liking – the deep-fry seemed to intensify sugars in the tortilla (the video suggests dusting the chips with cinnamon sugar, like Churros) – perhaps other brands would fare better. Potential.
