Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cans (19 ounces each) kidney beans (about 4 cups), drained and rinsed
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) low-sodium chicken stock (about 4 cups)
2 bay leaves
1 medium onion, quartered
1 fresh jalapeno chile with seeds, quartered
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse salt
1/4 cup grated cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Put beans, stock, bay leaves, onion, jalapeno, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a brisk simmer. Cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking liquid; discard onion, jalapeno, and bay leaves.
  • Return beans and reserved cooking liquid to pan, and stir in 2 tablespoons cheese. Mash slightly with a potato masher until about half of the beans are broken down, leaving remaining beans whole. Season with salt, if desired. Cover with foil until ready to serve. Serve warm, sprinkled with remaining 2 tablespoons cheese.

I'm a professional chef and I have to say that this recipe is a joke. It's full of errors and the instructions are unclear. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a total disaster. The beans were hard and the cheese was rubbery. I'm never making this again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my red beans and cheese turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This dish is very filling and satisfying. I could definitely see myself eating it as a main course.

This recipe is a little spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover red beans. I also like to add some corn and black beans to the dish.

I'm not a huge fan of red beans, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The cheese and bell peppers really balance out the flavor of the beans.

This red beans and cheese recipe is a keeper! It's so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I especially love the addition of the bell peppers and onions. They give the dish a really nice depth of flavor.
