1
Prepare the Pinto Beans
If using dried pinto beans, soak them overnight and cook them according to package instructions. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them before use.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Combine Ingredients
Add the cooked pinto beans to the skillet. Sprinkle in the cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
4
Melt the Cheese
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the bean mixture. Cover the skillet and allow the cheese to melt for about 5 minutes.
5
Garnish and Serve
Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat and stir in the fresh cilantro. Serve warm as a main dish or side.
