  • 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • Pickled jalapeños and cilantro (for serving; optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Heat oil in a 10″ heatproof skillet over medium. Add onion, garlic, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.
