Chicken Chili Corn Chip Pie Recipes

CHICKEN-CORN CHILI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, chopped jalapeno, green chiles and cumin and cook, stirring, until the cumin is toasted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, chicken and beans along with the liquid from one of the cans of beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
• Using a potato masher, mash the chili until about half of the beans are broken up. Stir in the corn, cilantro and 1/2 cup cheese. Divide the chili among bowls and top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the sliced jalapeno. Serve with sour cream and cornbread, if desired.

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.

CORN CHIP-CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, 6 to 8 minutes, adding the broccoli halfway through. Drain and transfer the potatoes and broccoli to a large bowl; set aside.
• Meanwhile, set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Pulse the corn chips in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the chicken with 1/4 cup sour cream, coating both sides, then press into the corn chip crumbs to coat; transfer to the rack. Bake until crisp and cooked through, about 18 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and olive oil to the potatoes and broccoli; season with salt and pepper and toss. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sour cream, the scallion, cilantro, lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Drizzle over the vegetables and serve with the chicken.

CHILI PIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• For the chili: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the ground beef and brown, crumbling as you go, until cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the kidney beans, tomato sauce, tomatoes and green chiles, chili powder, salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer and thicken, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• For the burritos: Add about 1 cup chili to a tortilla, then top with grated Cheddar and some diced onion. Add a handful of corn chips and a dollop of sour cream. Tuck the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly, then set aside. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil. In batches, toast the burritos until golden, about 1 minute per side.
