- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons regular chili powder
- 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

- Add in onions, garlic, and chili powder and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- On your nonstick baking sheet, evenly distribute your chips, cooked turkey, beans, and corn. Sprinkle your cheese on top.
