Method

Preheat the grill to high. Put the onion, chillies, garlic and tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking tray lined with foil. Grill for 8 mins until fairly charred on top. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C.
Put the grilled chillies in a freezer bag to steam for a few mins, then peel and discard the seeds and stem. Peel the garlic and put in a food processor with the chilli flesh, tomatoes, onion, chopped coriander and the chipotle paste. Season, then pulse until mostly smooth but still with some texture. Stir in the lime juice and pour into a serving bowl.
Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil and then cut each into 6 triangles. Spread out on 1 or 2 baking sheets so that they are in a single layer; bake for 7-8 mins until golden. Season with salt. Top the salsa with the feta, if using, and the remaining coriander. Serve with the tortilla chips.
