Ingredients
Method
Remove 1-1/2-inch (4 cm) wide lengthwise strip of husk from each cob of corn; set strips aside. Gently pull away remaining husks, keeping attached at stem ends; snap cobs off stems. Remove silk and discard. Using reserved strips of corn husk, tie loose ends of husks together to form boats. Cut corn kernels off cobs; set aside.
In skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add corn kernels, zucchini, red pepper, onion, salt, pepper and hot pepper flakes; cook, stirring, until red pepper is tender-crisp, 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl; let cool.
Stir in cheese. Spoon into boats. (Make-ahead: Cover; refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Arrange on rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until cheese is melted, 20 minutes.
