11. Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
12. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Variations:
* Add 1-2 cups of chopped bell peppers or jalapeños to the pot with the onion and garlic.

* Add 1 cup of chopped frozen peas and carrots during the last 10 minutes of cooking for a pop of color and added nutrition.
* Serve with warm flour or corn tortillas, sliced radishes, lime wedges, and a dollop of sour cream for a delicious and authentic Mexican dish.
