Now since I had fried bacon to go in my Beans & Rice- I used the bacon grease from that to fry the tortilla strips, and I used SPELT tortilla's from the organic store. They were so good Mom and I almost made ourselves sick snacking on them and Zach ate so many he didn't want to eat his chicken. It was a lot easier to fry these than I thought, I will definitely be doing it again in the future for other dishes!!
