Hi, this is Dave for Expert Village and today we are making Albondigas soup. This is totally optional for you but I really like to do some fried tortillas strips in the soup at the end because it makes it really crunchy. It adds that little texture to it, I'm going to show you how to do that, it doesn't take long at all. So what I like to do is get my range hot, we'll put that on there and I'm going to add corn oil because this has such great flavor to it and kind of goes with the Mexican Spanish theme. So you want to get that going. In the meantime I got some nice corn tortillas here and as you see these are about six inch tortillas. So you want to, I like to do it this way, cut it lengthwise here just across here, I have two of them right here. You can do these at the same time if you like and you can just make them as thin as you like, I like to just kind of just go like this and some of course it will be smaller but like I said it is a garnish on the top. These are going to be very crispy you can do this while your oil is heating.
