Here is a recipe I just invented tonight, out of things I had in the
kitchen. It took about 35 - 40 minutes from start to finish.
Place these in a small bowl and top with 4 oz. vegan beer (or water or
vegetable stock). Cook in microwave ~4 minutes, until they begin to
soften.
Meanwhile, in a 4-qt. pot, place:

- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
Start over high heat. Stir until beans "dissolve." Then add 1/2 can
pinto beans. Mash the remaining beans and add.
Then add:
