Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Lay one tortilla on a cutting surface. Brush one side only with a thin film of vegetable oil, about 1/8 teaspoon. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and oil. Cut the tortillas into the desired size: quarters, sixths, or eighths. 2. Arrange as many tortilla wedges as will fit in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 10 minutes, or until the chips are crisp and lightly browned. Remove the chips from the oven and sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Repeat baking until all of the chips have been toasted. Once cooled, store in a sealed plastic bag, or other airtight container, if made ahead.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."

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.
