Add sour cream, Mexican seasoning, garlic salt stirring occasionally until it begins to bubble. Lower heat to medium low and add cheese. Stir until combined. Turn on low for 10-15 minutes for flavors to meld stirring occasionally. Taste. If more heat or salt is desired add a pinch of cayenne and salt.

Serve with burritos or tacos.

We make left over cooked pork loin burritos with these beans which is a favorite. The pork loin is sliced very thin and warmed up in a salsa verde chunky with medium or high heat for 5-7 minutes. The pork picks up the tang of the salsa.

Note: These beans are great the next day as a side.
