Sorry, I'm a little confused: are there two different kinds of beans?
If not, then why use 2 cups if there will be 1 cup left over?
Please straighten out my thinking.

Yes there are both red and black beans all tossed together during the rinsing in the collander. I fish out one cup of the combined beans and mash them into a paste with the salsa. To keep texture and color I take a second cup of the beans and chop them to reduce the size for the filling but still shows them off.

When you combine the cans its just too many beans so there will be one cup remaining in the collander you can throw in some soup or salad or.. or...

This looks so elegant and sounds delicious! I have to give you a beauty flag, too! I think what Lovebreezy was saying, is your ingredients state 2 cups of red beans. Got me a little confused too, until I just read your comments.

Thanks for you input guys. I have edited the ingredients and directions. This should make it more clear.
