1 (15 oz.) can chili beans (I use Dennison's original)
1 (15 oz.) can whole kernel corn (do not drain)
1 to 2 tsp. chili powder (optional)
1/2 cup water
3 cups crushed tortilla chips (size of a nickle)
1 to 2 cups shredded jack cheese

In a 10-inch skillet with lid add first four ingredients and simmer for several minutes. Add crushed chips and simmer for a couple more minutes. Sprinkle cheese over all and cover with lid. Turn off heat and let cheese melt.

It is ready to serve as is or with your favorite condiments such as salsa, dairy sour cream, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, peppers and chips. Looks nice served on a bed of lettuce!
