Ingredients




2 tablespoons Corn Oil
1 Onion, finely chopped
1/2 Green Pepper, chopped
3 Garlic Cloves, crushed
1/2 cup Chopped Canned Tomatoes
1 Fresh Green Chili, chopped
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
1 can Refried Beans (13 oz.)
5 tablespoons Water
2 cups Tortilla Chips
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1 1/2 cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
Paprika to garnish

Preparation

1 Heat oil in a skillet, add the onion, green pepper, and garlic, and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft but not browned. 2 Add the tomatoes and chili and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. 3 Stir in the chili powder and paprika and cook for 3 minutes, then add the refried beans, breaking them up with a fork. Add the measured water and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, until the mixture thickens. 4 Spoon the beans into the middle of a baking dish, arrange the tortilla chips around the edge and sprinkle with cumin. Sprinkle the cheese over the beans and tortilla chips. 5 Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese has melted. 6 Sprinkle the paprika for garnish in a lattice pattern on top and serve immediately.
