Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a blender or a food processor.

Wash and dry the cilantro and add it to the blender.

Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño and add it to the blender.

Stop the blender and add the cumin.

9
Slice the lettuce in half and remove the core. Slice thin.

Clean the radishes. Remove and discard the radish greens and slice the radishes into wedges.

Spread an even layer of chips on a parchment-lined or silpat-lined baking tray.

Repeat with a second layer of chips, black beans, green chiles, corn and shredded cheese.

Put the baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese.
