Preheat oven to 400F. Stack tortillas and cut into 1/4 inch strips with a pizza cutter. Place strips on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and toss to coat. Bake 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
If using fresh corn on the cob, it must be cooked and cut off the cob. Frozen corn should be thawed.
