SJ’s NOTE:
Boiled Kidney Beans: Soak kidney beans overnight in plenty of water. Drain and rinse it in morning and pressure-cook for 4 whistles. 
– I used very less amount of cheese, but you can adjust it according to your taste.
– Taco shells can be prepared and stored ahead of time, so it’s quick for anytime biting…
– Tacozza can be folded into half to get the feelings of Tacos!
