Method

Put the beans in a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat. If they’re too thick or stick to the pan, add a small amount of water. Alternatively, warm the beans in the microwave. Put the beans, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, carrot, and avocado in separate bowls on the table so everyone can create their favorite combination.
