So fresh, so filling. This flavour-packed vegan sandwich can take the heat: Add a pinch of cayenne or a few dashes of hot sauce to the mixture before puréeing. Two more ways to use this black bean spread? As a snack to scoop up with fresh veggies. Or as a yummy substitute for refried beans in quesadillas, nachos, and tostadas.
