    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
    • ½ cup chicken broth
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with avocado oil spray.

2

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cooled.

3

In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add green chiles and garlic, cooking for 2 more minutes.

4

Stir in pinto beans, increasing heat to bring to a boil. Add chicken broth and chili powder. Mash the beans, then simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and black pepper.

5

In the baking dish, layer half of the bean mixture, 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese, and 1/2 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake an additional 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted or lightly browned.

6

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cut tortillas into quarters and spray both sides with avocado oil spray. Fry in batches for 4-6 minutes, flipping and cooking another 2-3 minutes until crisp. Sprinkle with salt.
