Corn Chip Topping Recipes

CORN CHIP PIE

Steps:

• Take corn chips out of bag (or and open bag and leave chips in).
• Place shredded cheese on top. Pour Pinto Beans over the cheese (hot beans help melt the cheese quicker). Sprinkle Brisket on top. Garnish with BBQ Sauce.
• Preheat a smoker or oven for cooking at about 225 degrees F.
• Trim brisket fat on the deckle (large side) just enough to where there is still fat covering the meat. (You do not need to trim the pork butt.) Stir together the pepper, salt, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Apply the rub to all sides of the meat thoroughly. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Place in smoker or oven and let cook until internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F, about 12 hours.
• Let sit 30 minutes, then chop meat.
• Cover beans with water by 2 inches and bring to a boil to get the outer layer off. Boil 2 minutes, then drain all water and put beans back in pot. Add water to cover 2 inches above the top of the beans. Bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, saute the onions, jalapenos and garlic in some oil in another pan until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, then let simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes and add to the bean pot. Add the garlic pepper, chili powder and salt to the bean pot and let simmer, stirring every 20 minutes, until soft, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Mix the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, steak sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, BBQ rub, garlic pepper, black pepper, cinnamon and 3 quarts water in a 5-gallon bucket.

TORTILLA CHIPS WITH GRILLED CORN AND CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for 3 to 4 seconds.)
• Brush corn with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Grill corn and chiles, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear and both are tender, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Cut kernels off cobs, and transfer to a medium bowl. Peel, stem, and seed jalapenos. Cut into 1/8-inch dice, and add to corn. Add scallion, cilantro, lime juice, and 1 1/4 cups cheese to corn mixture. Toss until well combined.
• Preheat broiler. Arrange chips in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Top each chip with a tablespoon of corn mixture. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over chips. Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 30 seconds. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, and serve immediately.

DELICIOUS BAKED CORN CHIPS

Steps:

• Place a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Arrange corn tortillas in a single layer, with no overlap, on a baking sheet. Brush tortillas with oil; sprinkle garlic salt, oregano, and chili powder on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven, with the door slightly ajar, until crispy, about 7 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before serving.

• Add beef to the casserole dish, and rinsed pinto beans. Carefully pour over the enchilada sauce. Top with ¾ of the shredded cheese, and then cover the cheese with chips. Add the rest of the cheese.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted. Allow casserole to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
