    Add the chili powder, cumin and oregano and stir for 1 min until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil.

  6. 6

    Lower the heat and simmer, partly covered, stirring now and then, until thick, 15-20 min.

  7. 7

    Season the chili with salt and pepper.

  8. 8

    Divide the corn chips among four bowls, or split open small individual bags.

  9. 9

    Ladle the hot chili over the chips, top with the cheddar and the rest of the raw onion, and eat at once while the chips still crunch.
