Taco Bell Pintos and Cheese Recipe

The secret to getting that smooth, delicious texture is using a good quality cheddar cheese and ensuring your beans are well seasoned.
One of the things I love most about this dish is its versatility, perfect as a side or on top of nachos for a snack.
Don’t forget to let the cheese melt thoroughly to achieve that rich, gooey finish!
