If you need more inspiration than just a fork, try this: scoop them onto a tortilla chip with a dollop of sour cream. You have created a lazy man’s nacho.
Or mix them with a spoonful of your favorite salsa and some corn. That’s a cold bean salad that tastes like a fiesta, minus the cleanup. You can eat it while watching TV.
Another trick? Mash them lightly with a fork and spread them on toast with a sprinkle of salt. It’s bean toast, and it will rock your world.
Add them to a Buddha bowl with whatever leftovers you have. Cold beans taste amazing next to roasted veggies or even leftover pasta.
Be a rebel. Forget the recipe. Just eat them with a spoon while standing in your pajamas. I fully support this decision.
