Steps:
- Prepare the chicken:
- In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
- In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
- In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.

HOMEMADE CORN TORTILLA CHIPS, EASY CHEAP MEXICAN SNACK FOOD
Corn tortillas (used in making Oaxaca-style quesadillas) are available at international and Latin grocery stores, and if you live in a large Latin-American community like I do then you can find corn tortillas in bags of 20-30 for like $2 or less at major grocery stores. Flour tortillas probably won't work as well for this and definitely won't have the corn flavor and base. Never spend money on premade again! You can also control how large or small you want to make them (and keep them seasoned or not) not to mention salt content if you're watching sodium intake. 32 chips is all I could fit on my convection oven's cookie sheet so feel free to use more tortillas; the methodology is all the same. You won't believe how easy it is to get restaurant-style tortilla chips without any icky unnatural ingredients!

- Cut each tortilla into 4 equal wedge pieces.
- Brush the pieces with olive/corn oil and lightly sprinkle with the kosher salt.

- Let cool for 5-10 minutes prior to eating.
- Voila, you have natural yummy corn chips without unhealthy preservatives, hydrogenated oils, and whatnot. Serve with your favorite Mexican meal or snack food, a good salsa, or just eat plain. For some variation ideas: Soak in guacamole to make guac chips, brush tomatillo sauce or salsa on to have baked-on salsa, make spicy chips with my all-purpose Mexican seasoning, the possibilities are endless.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, shortening and salt with a fork until the shortening is completely incorporated into the cornmeal. Mix in the boiling water a little at a time until a stiff dough forms, about the consistency of soft clay.
- Press the dough into the donut molds in a thin even layer to completely coat each mold, including the centerpiece that would create the hole in the donut. Dip your fingers in water to keep the dough from sticking to them as you press it into the molds.
- Bake until firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, then carefully remove the sombreros from the molds.
- Fill a medium pot with about 4 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the sombreros until just light brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and sprinkle with a bit of salt.
- Fill each sombrero with salsa or guacamole.

ANNE'S CORN SALSA WITH TORTILLA CHIPS
Steps:
- For the chips: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven set over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Drop the tortillas in batches into the oil, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry until golden brown, a couple minutes total. Remove to a paper-towel-lined sheet pan and sprinkle liberally with salt. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
- For the salsa: Preheat the grill to medium. Use a wire grill brush to loosen any crud or soot from the grate. Wipe the grate down carefully with an oiled towel to remove any loosened crud.
- Grill the corn and the tomatillos until they char and blacken on all sides. Remove from the grill and cool.
- Cut the kernels from the cob and scrape any residual bits of corn off the cob. Scrape any really charred bits of skin off the tomatillos and then cut them into 1/2-inch chunks.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn, tomatillos, scallions, garlic, black beans and jalapenos if using. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the vinegar and oil. Pour over the salsa and season with salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Toss in the cilantro and serve.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the tomatillos, jalapeno, onion, garlic, and 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes until the tomatillos are soft but have not burst. Drain and reserve cooking liquid. Add the cooked vegetables to a blender with the cilantro leaves and lime juice. *Pour in 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and process to a coarse puree - be careful when you process the hot liquid as it will expand - so make sure you hold the lid down firmly. Taste and adjust seasoning with more cilantro, lime juice, or salt according to preference.
- Prepare corn chips. Preheat oil to 375 degrees F. Cut tortillas into large wedges and deep- fry in batches until golden and crispy, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Season immediately with salt so it sticks and serve warm chips with tomatillo salsa.
- * When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
HEALTHY BAKED CORN TORTILLA CHIPS (HOMEMADE)
A wonderful healthy snack and a great way to use up leftover corn tortillas. Great with Recipe #287183 or for making nachos. I vary the toppings on this depending on what I will be serving them with, but lately have just been making them plain. VARIATION: If you need more healthy oils in your diet, brush with olive oil.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Stack tortillas one on top of the other and use kitchen sizzors to cut them into 4 slices like you would cut up a pizza.
- Spread them out in a single layer on a cookie sheet (not air-bake) , spacing them at least 1/4" apart (they will be chewy instead of crispy if not spaced properly). (NOTE: If you must use an air-bake pan, try 350 degrees for 20 minutes.).
- Shake salt and desired toppings over tortillas.
- TOPPING OPTIONS (choose any combo): SPICES: paprika, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder (sparingly), cayenne pepper (sparingly, will add heat!). CHEESES: grated parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, pepper jack cheese, etc. or try SWEET: cinnamon & sugar.
- Bake 8-12 mins or until chips are starting to get crispy and slightly golden brown at the edges (check every 1-2 minutes after 8 mins).
- Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 mins before serving in order to let them fully crispen. Extra Crispy: put back in turned off oven at least 10 mins or until ready to serve for extra crispy and warm chips (watch them, you may need to leave oven door cracked to prevent over browning).
HEMP CORN CHIPS (RAW)
I discovered this recipe some where on the net and decided to give it a try. These taste really good and are very sturdy and can pick up a big scoop of raw guacamole without breaking. I used soaked pepitas in mine instead of sunflower seeds and I halfed the recipe as I thought 175 chips were too much for just me and my DH. I also thawed the corn out before I pureed it as I thought it would be easier to process.

Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Field corn is the best type of corn for making corn chips because it has a high starch content. You can also use sweet corn, but the chips will be sweeter.
- Soak the corn. Soaking the corn overnight will help to soften the kernels and make them easier to grind.
- Grind the corn. You can use a food processor or a grain mill to grind the corn. If you are using a food processor, be sure to use the pulse setting to avoid over-grinding the corn.
- Add flavorings. You can add salt, pepper, chili powder, or other seasonings to the cornmeal before cooking. You can also add cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
- Cook the chips. You can cook the chips in a frying pan, in the oven, or in a microwave. If you are frying the chips, be sure to use a high smoke point oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil.
- Drain the chips. After the chips are cooked, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Season the chips. You can season the chips with salt, pepper, chili powder, or other seasonings. You can also add cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Making corn chips at home is a fun and easy project that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
