A question about homemade tostadas or tortilla chips

My question is very specific to HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLAS - please do not tell me to use store-bought. I get it, it works better, that's not my question. Everytime I've tried to make homemade corn tortillas into tostadas or tortilla chips, I get a tough or chewy result - not crispy like you want it. What's the solution? To make a dryer masa mix? Leave tortillas out overnight to get stale? Leave them a night in the fridge? Thinner tortilla? Hotter oil? Any insight - especially from experience - is appreciated! submitted by /u/whalehell0
