Cut the Mission white corn tortillas into chip shapes on a cutting board.

Set out 8 oz of cream cheese to come to room temperature.

Chop 6 large garlic cloves for the spinach dip.

Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add vegetable oil halfway up the skillet.

Test the oil with a piece of tortilla to check if it's hot.

Add the tortilla pieces to the hot oil and fry until golden, flipping them occasionally.

Remove the cooked tortilla chips from the skillet and place them on a baking sheet with a wire rack or paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle sea salt on the tortilla chips after removing them from the oil.
