Main Menu

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the cooked pinto beans, diced tomatoes, and salt. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes to blend the flavors.

  4. 4

    Mash about half of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a creamy yet chunky texture.

  5. 5

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese off the heat and let it melt into the mixture. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

  6. 6

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
