partially mash beans with a large fork.

4. Top with sliced olives and vegan cheese if desired and bake for 20 minutes.
IS YOUR SOY CHEESE VEGAN?
Many nondairy products do actually contain dairy, even if it says “nondairy” right there on the package!
Nondairy creamer and soy cheeses are notorious for this. Look for casein or whey on the ingredients list,
particularly if you suffer from dairy allergies, and if you’re allergic to soy, look for nut- or rice-based
vegan cheeses.
Cuban Black Beans, Sweet Potatoes, and Rice
Stir some plain steamed rice right into the pot, or serve it alongside these
spicy beans.
