In a microwave safe bowl, add a splash of olive oil to the contents of a can of rinsed and drained beans. Microwave on high for 30-45 seconds, until warmed through and soft (but not really hot).
Add spices and jalapeno and onion. Use a large fork or a potato masher to mash/smash the beans to the desired consistency.
If using as a side dish, heat an additional 30-45 seconds to completely cook through.
Recipe Notes
We enjoy these as a side dish, a soft taco/burrito/wrap filling. They also make a great layer in 7-layer dip or Taco salad.
