Preparation
Make crust by adding corn chips to the bowl of a food processor and pulsing a couple of times to break them up slightly. Add flour and salt and pulse another couple of times. Add butter and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With food processor running, slowly pour in ice water until a dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Roll out crust to about a 12″ circle and drape into a 10″ tart pan with a removable bottom. Roll rolling pin over edges to trim off excess dough. Prick bottom several times with a fork and bake for 30 minutes.
To make the filling, brown ground beef in a large skillet along with onion, garlic powder, and seasoning. Stir in tomato sauce, beans and cilantro and season to taste.
Spoon chili into par-baked tart shell and top with cheese. Return to oven for an additional 20 minutes.
