When onion begins to get soft, add green onions and continue to cook. When onions are soft, put heat on med-low and add cilantro, tomatoes, beans, cumin and garlic salt (I use a lot of garlic salt, but you can use as much/little as you like.) cook until dish is hot.</i> <br /> <br /> <i>Top with sliced avocado (optional).
