1 can (15 oz) black beans rinsed

​
2 tsp olive oil (or vegetable oil of your choice) 

Optional: ¼ tsp salt, sour cream or plain yogurt, scallions, cilantro 

Instructions
  1. Pierce potatoes in several places with a fork.
  2. Microwave potatoes on high 12-15 minutes, order until tender.
  3. In microwave-safe bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Slice each potato down the middle. Press open, making a well in the center.
