  To make the tortilla strips: In a small skillet, heat about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the Old El Paso™ tortilla strips in a single layer, frying quickly for about 30-45 seconds, flipping them once to ensure both sides get crisp. Remove the tortillas once crisp with a pair of tongs and transfer them to a paper towel lined plate to dry.
