1. 1

2. 2

   Cut the tops off the jalapeños and quarter them longways into strips or "leaves" as my friends call them. Remove the seeds and innards.

3. 3

   Petal the onion by removing the ends and cutting it in half then cutting each half into quarters and breaking apart the layers.

4. 4

   Combine the ground meat, peppers and onions in a lightly oiled skillet and cook until the meat has browned.

5. 5

   Add the meat and vegetables to the pot of tomatoes and beans and cook covered an additional 5-10 minutes to let the flavors mingle.

   Serve in a bowl over Frito's and top with grated cheddar.
