Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 15-ounce can pinto beans
  • ¾ cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 15-ounce can white beans
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 4 ounce can diced mild green chiles
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
  • 1/2 red pepper
  • 2 green onions
  • ¾ cup canned or frozen corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F.
  2. Peel the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until chopped. Drain the pinto beans. Add the pinto beans, Greek yogurt, cumin, oregano, chili powder, onion powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Process until smooth, about 1 minute.

  4. Mince the red pepper and thinly slice the green onions. Top the white chili cheese dip with 1 to 1 ½ cups Mexican cheese (depending on your cheese preference!), red pepper, green onions, and frozen corn.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes until cheese is melted*. Serve warm with tortilla chips.
