  • Remove 1 cup bean mixture from pan with a slotted spoon; place in a bowl. Mash beans with a fork.

  • 3 Ways to Riff: - Add ground turkey or ground beef for a meaty version; cook it with the veggies. - Use any other type of bean: kidney beans, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), or red beans. - Swap in 1 can of hominy or 1 cup frozen corn in place of 1 can of beans.
