You can only appreciate the name of this
recipe if you are post-menopausal.
If you are saying..."Whaaaa?"
Never mind you'll find out soon enough!
Actually I added Ellen's name not because of her whiskers (far from it she is lovely in every way) but because she is the lady that gave me the recipe! She brought these to Jim's party and they were to die for so I wanted to share this great recipe with you!

Whiskers
12 corn or flour tortillas
(7 to 10 inches in diameter)
Salad oil
Garlic paprika salt or chili salt
(recipe to follow)
Stack three to six tortillas and with a long, sharp knife
cut the tortillas into long strips about 1/4 inch wide.
Repeat until all the tortillas are cut into strips.
In a 4 to 5 quart pan add an inch of salad oil and
heat to 350 degrees using a thermometer.
(I'll be guessing on this part!)
Drop in 1/3 of the tortilla strips
Cook and stir until lightly brown and crisp
(about 1 to 2 minutes)
Transfer with a slotted spoon
to a paper towel to drain.
While the whiskers are still warm sprinkle
with the salt mixture of your choice.
Repeat to cook the remaining whiskers.
Serve warm or cool.
If making ahead package in an airtight
Ziplock plastic bag until the next day.
To reheat spread out on a paper towel
on a cookie sheet and bake for
about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
Paprika Garlic Salt1 Tablespoon garlic salt to 1/4 tsp paprika
Chili Salt
1 Tablespoon salt to 1/2 chili powder
Ellen's Mixture
She does the chili mixture and adds a pinch
of Cayenne Pepper to give it a little more kick!
She has the magic touch so I'm doing it her way!
My Idea:
Flour tortillas Whiskers with cinnamon
and sugar would be awesome too.
P.S. My photo shows the whiskers looking a little short. They were put back into a bag after the party and I think they got broken in the transfer. They are so cute when they are long and crispy. They are a hundred times better than tortilla chips. And a real crowd pleaser, everyone wanted the recipe which is one reason why I am posting it. You can be the first to embrace it in your neighborhood, ladies!
Also shown are my latest and greatest new kitchen toys. I love these little 4 inch square plates from Cost Plus World Market. They are $1.99 and just the perfect size for appetizers and small snacks. I have had them a week and had to go buy more, they are always in the dishwasher. A piece of toast fits perfectly on them.
I have a feeling they are a great little portion controller too. The little black circle is a sticker that comes off, these are brand new.

Oh Bonnie, you do make me laugh. I totally "get" the whiskers thing, much as I wish I didn't!! Those look much tastier then the real thing! (and a whole lot easier to deal with!) Love the square plates as well! And I love you! xxoo
