How to Make Frijole Rabbit Mexican Rarebit

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion, chopped, and 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped. Sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in 1 teaspoon chili powder and cook for 1 minute more.
  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Reduce heat to low. Gradually stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Serve immediately on warm tortillas, tortilla chips, or crackers. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.
