Pierce potatoes with a fork; arrange in a circle on paper towels in microwave oven. Microwave at HIGH 10 minutes, turning and rearranging potatoes after 5 minutes. OR bake in the oven.


While potatoes are cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray or oil.
Add onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin

Reduce heat to low and add beans, corn and salsa

Cook for 4 minutes (Oops! I forgot to add the Salsa.)
