Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef, and brown, stirring to break up as you cook it. Drain and return the ground beef to the skillet.
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
Stir in the onion, and cook, stirring regularly, for about 3 minutes or until the onion has softened.
1 medium white or yellow onion
Add garlic and taco seasoning, and cook for 30 seconds, stirring the entire time.
4 cloves garlic, 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
Stir in the pinto beans and salsa. Simmer for 10 minutes.
15 ounce can pinto beans, 15 ounce jar tomato salsa
Remove from heat.
Sprinkle the cheese over the top, and cover to let the cheese melt before serving with desired toppings.
1 cups shredded cheddar or cheddar Jack cheese

Ground beef: I like to use 85-88% lean ground beef. You can substitute ground turkey or ground chicken if you prefer.
Taco seasoning: You can use store bought taco seasoning or make homemade taco seasoning.
Pinto beans: Or use black beans.
Salsa: Use your favorite type of chunky tomato salsa.
