Drain beans in a wire-mesh strainer and rinse.Mince garlic.Combine half the garlic (reserve remaining for cauliflower mixture), half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), mayonnaise, vinegar, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside. -
3 Add the Corn and Beans
Add beans, corn, remaining garlic, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt to hot pan. Stir occasionally until heated through, 1-2 minutes.
