Were you ever one to be the odd ball? You know, the Lone Ranger...the outcast...the one that always fit in, but never fit in at all...the eccentric one?? That's me! I was never one to follow until Twitter came along. Nor, was I the one with loads of friends until I joined Facebook http://facebook.com/ or Group Recipes http://grouprecipes.com/ a while back. Anyway, when I noticed Tie Dyed Tortilla Chips at http://blisstree.com/, I thought of how I love things that are a wee bit edgy.
I have had an ongoing love affair with Mexican food and especially corn tortillas in any way, shape, or form for most all my life. So, when I spotted this quirky fried tortilla chip recipe...I decided to have a Mexican feast this weekend. That certainly includes huevos, salsas, queso, and ablondigas soup to name a few Mexican dishes that I do so love! So come along and see how wacky I can be...let's do a Mexican brunch the Ozark way. Print this page and use for your shopping list. And please shop green...locally, seasonally, and organically! Let's be eccentric together for a fun loving meal at Brunch in the Ozarks! Oh, and don't forget your Lagniappe!

Tie Dyed Tortilla Chips
by http://blisstree.com/
Ingredients:
12 white corn tortillas
Paste food colors
Vegetable oil for fryer
Sea salt or table salt
Make the Dye:
1.Mix 1/4 tsp of paste food color with 1/8 cup of water. You can adjust the color intensity by adding more water to make it lighter or less water to make it intense. Choose at least four colors for dyes.
2. Lay the tortilla flat on a work surface that has been protected with wax paper or other protective layer. Using the food color and brush begin to paint the dye onto the tortilla, mixing colors any way you like.
Fry the Tortilla Chips:
Fill fryer with oil and preheat according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Cut tortillas into eighths with sharp knife.
When the oil reaches 375 degrees (185 C ) place the triangles into the fryer basket. Do not crowd them too much.. Fry until crispy. This will take about 1 to 3 minutes.
Pull basket out of oil and hold over the fryer so that the extra oil can run off for a minute or two. Tip basket carefully on towel, or paper towel.
Let the oil heat back up to 375F (185C) before you add any more tortillas. Repeat process until all the chips are cooked.
Sprinkle with salt, if desired, and serve hot.
