Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups tortilla chips crushed and divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly coat an 8x8-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Cook for 2 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds. Stir in the enchilada sauce and pinto beans.
  • In the prepared dish, layer 1 cup of tortilla chips, 1/2 of the bean mixture, and 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.
