4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
⅔ cup salsa verde
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
½ cup cilantro, chopped

Place the beans in a bowl, partially mash but leave a bit chunky.

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet.  Add the onion and garlic.
Sauté for approximately 5 minutes or until tender. Add the beans,
