Method
To make the tortilla chips
Stack all of the corn tortillas on a cutting board and cut into 3 pie-shaped pieces, making a total of 36 pieces. Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan. Place 4 to 6 tortilla wedges in the pan and cook for about a minute, or until crisp, turning them once halfway. If they puff up, push them down to flatten. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Put the corn tortillas in a large brown bag with some salt and shake.
Make the nachos
Place tortilla chips in a single layer on a baking sheet. Top with the grated cheese, a slice of jalapeno and some chopped scallions.
Broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly.
