Ingredients
- 15-ounce can low-sodium white beans, drained (~1 ½ cups)
- ½ cup salsa verde
Instructions
- Place drained beans and salsa in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to simmer and beans are heated through, stirring occasionally.
- Turn off heat and use a fork or potato masher to mash beans to almost the consistency of refried beans. For a smoother texture, blend. Enjoy!
Notes
Don’t want to turn the stovetop on? No problem! Place the beans and salsa in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Heat through until easy to mash, then mash to desired consistency.
