- Turn heat off and mix in the 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

If I delete the corn and rice, and use "Pinto Bean and Flax Chips" by Beanito, the main carb count would be in the black beans, and would greatly reduce the carb count. I'll let you know how it tastes.

Sounds too high carb for me, but very flavorful. I will work on the recipe to make it lower in carbohydate count.
