Mexican Bhel

  1. In a large pot heat over med/high heat, heat up the oil and sauté the onions and jalapeños. Cook this for 3 mins and add pinto beans and refried beans.
  2. Add the vegetable broth and enchilada sauce along with all the seasonings. Give everything a good stir, cover the pot with the lid and simmer on medium heat for 12-15 mins. 
  3. In the meantime you can cut the tortilla strips into small squares, spray them with little cooking oil and air fry or bake them at 350 degrees F, for 5-7 mins, until golden brow. Sprinkle with some Chile seasoning at the end. 

Assembly 

  1. Once the soup is done cooking, ladle into a bowl and sprinkle with cheese right away, you want to layer the toppings from hot to coldest, this prevents the tortilla strips from becoming soggy. ex: shredded cheese, tomatoes + onions, jalapeños, sour cream, lettuce and top it off with some tortilla strips! Enjoy!
