Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°.
In a large bowl, combine the beans, rice, tomato, onion, 2 cups of cheese, jalapeno, and spices. Season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Pour into a greased 10-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven and take off the aluminum foil. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese over the top and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 - 10 more minutes.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, sour cream, and salsa.
