Stir in the 400 grams canned tomatoes and chili, then cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. You want a thick, saucy base.
Add the 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon paprika, cooking for another 3 minutes to toast the spices. Then, stir in the 13 oz refried beans, breaking them up with a fork to combine everything.
Pour in the 5 tablespoons water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the bean mixture has thickened considerably.
Spoon the hot bean mixture into the middle of a baking dish. Arrange the 2 cups tortilla chips around the edges of the dish, then sprinkle the entire dish with 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin. Finish by sprinkling the 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese evenly over both the beans and the tortilla chips.
