My friend Bean made these and took the picture...she is a fantastic cook!!

 

She said she kicked up the seasonings and jalapenos WAY up and she added cayenne pepper, fresh garlic & garlic powder. She served them up with salsa and garlic queso.

10 ounces corn tortillas, approximately 20

1/2 cup whole milk

1 whole egg

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup diced onions

2 tablespoons minced jalapenos

2 quarts peanut oil

 

*Cook's Note: If using a Good Eats tortilla recipe, decrease milk to 1/3 cup.

 

Tear the tortillas into small pieces and place in a food processor. Add the milk, egg, salt and pepper. Process until a chunky paste forms and you are able to squeeze a ball together in your hand, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in the onions and jalapenos. Set aside.

 

Place the oil into a 5-quart pot or Dutch oven and heat to 365 to 375 degrees F.

 

Roll the dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls or scoop with a small, 2-teaspoon ice cream scoop. Fry 6 to 8 at a time in the oil until crisp and golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack set over a sheet pan and allow to cool 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
