I know a dozen things to do with stale bread. Is there anything that can be done with stale tortilla chips? (Where 'stale' is partly a taste thing but largely a texture thing -- not as crisp and crunchy as they ought to be, and slightly tough.)

We can never seem to finish a bag on our own. I'll throw out the rest if not, but if anyone has any ideas....

*cough* I think I'm about to out myself as seriously low brow, but taco pie.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 pounds ground beef
1 envelope taco seasoning
1/2 cup water
1 can (2-1/4 ounces) sliced ripe olives, drained
2 cups corn chips, crushed, divided
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce and slice avocado, optional
Directions:
In a skillet, brown beef; drain. Stir in taco seasoning, water and olives. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Sprinkle half of the corn chips into pie shell. Top with meat mixture, sour cream and cheese. Cover with remaining corn chips. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges. Top with lettuce and avocado if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
