2. Add the onions, peppers, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, until onions and peppers are softened.

 
3. Add the corn, beans, and salsa. Mis well. If it starts going a bit dry, keep adding water by the tablespoon until moistened. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

 
4. Lightly grease a 9x9 in. or similar sized baking dish. Lay half the tortilla chips on the bottom.
