Drain cans over the sink and dispose of can lid safely to avoid cuts.

Keep knife blades angled away from fingers and stabilize the cutting board to prevent slips.
- Warm the filling. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the bean mixture to the skillet and warm 3–4 minutes, mashing some beans with the spatula to create a slightly chunky filling; season to taste with salt and pepper if available.
