TORTILLA CHIP CRUST FOR SAVORY PIE (QUICHE, MEXICAN PIE, ETC.)
Great use for those extra little pieces at the bottom of the bag, or chips that are going slightly stale. It's extremely easy, made with the same method as a graham cracker crust. I find that a blender or food processor works best for getting these crushed finely enough - roughly the same as graham cracker crumbs. If you're using salted chips, be sure to omit or adjust any salt in your recipe.

TORTILLA AND BLACK BEAN PIE
This is so good, and different from other tortilla pies because it does not have tomatoes in it. I made it several times last summer while sweet corn was in season. If you want, top the finished pie with salsa, sour cream, or any other typical taco or burrito ingredients you want. I like it just the way it is. From Everyday Food Issue #6. The original recipe calls for a 9 inch springform pan, which allows the pie to be released when it's done, but I just use a round cake pan and serve it straight from the pan.

TORTILLA PIE
An easy and delicious version of the classic "Mexican lasagna." For an extra flourish, alternate spinach tortillas with plain flour or multigrain ones. If you don't like spicy hot food, substitute a can of chopped green chilis for the sliced jalapeños. I like to use a hot chipotle salsa, but a mild one is fine. For a lighter version, use lowfat cheeses.
