- 2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups water
- One 15-ounce can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 4½ cups corn chips (like Fritos)
- 2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¾ cup chopped tomatoes
- sour cream and minced fresh cilantro, optional
In a Dutch oven, cook the beef and onion over medium-heat until no longer pink; spoon out any accumulated fat and discard. Stir in the chili powder, flour, salt and garlic powder until blended; gradually stir in the water.
Add the beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
To serve, divide the chips among six serving bowls. Top with the beef mixture, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. Garnish with sour cream and cilantro, if desired.
