FAQ

  • Can I add any vegetables?

    Absolutely! Diced bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes would be a great addition.
  • What if I don't have black beans or corn?

    You can easily omit them, or substitute with other beans or vegetables you have on hand.
  • My cheese isn't melting properly, what should I do?

    Try microwaving for another 15-20 seconds, but watch closely to prevent burning. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed.
