Queso Beans
These queso style beans mean you can get all the delicious flavours of queso but as an entire meal! Add as much or as little of the chopped jalapeños as you want, depending on how spicy you like it. I like to serve this with tortilla chips, some guacamole and pickled red onions, but you can really add whatever you fancy!
