     3/4  cup           chicken stock                                           
                        Salt                                                    
                        Lime juice                                              
                                                                                

Cut kernels from corn cobs and set aside; you should have 2 cups of whole kernels. With the back
of a knife, scrape down cobs to remove liquid and pulp. Reserve in a small bowl; you should have a
1/2 cup of corn puree. 

Soak chilies in hot water to cover until soft. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. In a blender combine
chilies, cumin, coriander, oregano and tortillas. Blend, adding just enough reserved 

chile liquid to make a thick paste. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in chile paste
and fry for about 3 minutes, or until it thickens. Add onion, garlic and corn kernels and fry 

2 minutes more. Add corn puree, beer and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 40
minutes, or until mixture is thick and flavorful. Season to taste with salt and lime juice
