Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute Manchego cheese for cheddar cheese.

    I scaled this to 1/3 just to have an extra side dish on our 2 plates, adding diced fresnos with the garlic & using a mix of tomato paste + a smooth "smoky, roasted salsa" made with dried chiles, tomatoes & tomatillos. It's an easy idea that came together quickly & was pretty tasty :)

    Felt like an incomplete side dish to me.

    I punch up the spices with chile powder and oregano serve this with tortillas or cornbread, or as a filling for tamale pie. A very adaptable recipe!

    This was a very easy and tasty bean dish to eat with fajitas or in tacos.

    Basic beans with cheese that my husband scooped up with tortilla chips. We used a blend of sharp white cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and served this over smashed potatoes. I love beans in all forms, so I would make this again.
