Bake these over the weekend, and enjoy throughout the week for breakfast or a snack.

Cookbook creator says: Neither the vinegar or oil is necessary in this recipe. Just substitute a little more lime juice. This is great served with chips, as a dip, or to finish off a grilled fish. Also, one could just use one can of beans, and substitute the other can of beans with a can of corn, regular or Mexi style.
