- Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 400F. Brush both sides of tortillas with 3 tsp oil. Stack tortillas and slice into 8 wedges. Arrange on 2 baking sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching and rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 min. Transfer to a rack to cool. Preheat broiler.

Stir until fragrant, 30 sec. Crumble in turkey. Cook, breaking meat up with a fork, until it’s no longer pink, 4 to 5 min. Add tomato paste, water and mashed beans. Cook until warmed through, about 2 min.
- Divide tortilla chips between 2 large casserole dishes or transfer all to a baking sheet. Spread tortillas out in one layer if possible. Spoon turkey mixture evenly over chips, then sprinkle with cheese.
