What is a good oil for homemade tortilla chips?

canola oil , is zero saturated fat . cholesterol free and a great test . before adding the oil just warm it for just a little. I can tell you for how long cuz don't know how much you making but just warm it and it work alot better.

Vegetable is good but will saturate when you heat it. Grape-seed oil will not saturate even under high temperatures. If you are concerned about your health and saturated fat intake then grape-seed oil would be your best bet. It is a little bland but it is a lot healthier. It is also great for frying. This oil may be a bit more expensive but a lot better for your health. Grape seed oil is what we use in my house. I will give you a sight with a list of facts. It also tells you the saturation points of other oils.

Olive oil is the worst oil to fry with. That will saturate almost instantly.

You can also use olive oil flavored spray, like PAM.....Canola has the lowest in sat fat and trans fat......You might also want to salt the chips or use a combination of salt and chili powder....Enjoy!!
