HOT BEAN AND BACON DIP WITH AIR FRYER TORTILLA CHIPS

Hot Bean and Bacon Dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips image

This is a great dip for game day, potlucks, or get-togethers. We serve it with air-fried tortilla chips. Leftovers are great (but you probably won't have any) in a flour tortilla for a bean and cheese burrito, or roll it in a corn tortilla for a quick taco.

Ingredients

avocado oil cooking spray
½ pound bacon
½ cup chopped onion
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles (such as Ortega®)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (29 ounce) can pinto beans, undrained
½ cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons cream cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble once cooled.
Saute onion in the same skillet until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add green chiles and garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add pinto beans; bring to a boil. Stir in chicken broth and chili powder. Reduce heat to low and mash beans. Let simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add cream cheese and stir until melted. Simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add bacon and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Layer 1/2 of the bean mixture, 1/2 cup pepper Jack, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese into the prepared baking dish. Repeat layers.
Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until cheese is melted or lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes more.
Meanwhile, preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
Cut each tortilla into fourths. Spray both sides of each tortilla with avocado oil. Place in air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Check your basket constantly because they can burn quickly. Sprinkle with salt and serve with hot dip.
