Ingredients

9 white corn tortilla shells
1 to 2 tablespoons bacon fat warmed
1 lime
2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°.
Measure out two teaspoons of kosher salt into a small bowl.
Slice lime in half and juice, yielding approximately 1/4 cup. Add the lime juice to the kosher salt and stir, set aside.
Brush both sides of the tortillas with warm bacon grease. Then cut them into fourths; arrange half of the tortilla pieces on a sheet pan, making sure they don't over lap.
Then dot each triangle with the lime/salt mixture.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until crispy, rotating the pan half way through baking time.
Repeat with the second batch. Season with more kosher salt to taste and serve with my *plug* Homemade Salsa!!
