You've reached Phase 1 of the Tortilla Conqueror's Guide! Congratulations, you are now a step closer to mastering the art of crushing your enemies with an onslaught of perfectly cooked, crispy tortilla chips.

As we previously established, the key to success lies in the perfect balance of crunch and chew. To achieve this, you must first acquire the following items:

• Tortilla chip pan (preferably with a non-stick surface, or a good dose of WD-40)
• Oil (we recommend a high-smoke point, extra-virile option)
• Spices to taste (don't overdo it, or you'll ruin the whole operation)

With these items in hand, proceed to Phase 2: The Tortilla Conqueror's Guide to Not Getting Crushed by Your Own Ego for further instructions.
