Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F

  3. With a knife, cut the tortillas into 2½ x 1-inch strips
  4. Spread the tortilla strips onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet

  6. In a 5- to 7-quart pressure cooker, heat the oil over medium heat

  15. Set a timer to cook for 6 minutes
  16. Remove the pot from the heat
  17. Open the cooker with the Quick Release method
  18. Be careful of the steam as you remove the lid
  19. Stir in the corn and cilantro
  20. Simmer over medium heat, uncovered, 2 minutes to cook the corn
