Yes, definitly rinse the beans. I love this, but I prefer not to mash the beans. I like the texture on tortilla chips better. This is also good with cilantro (if you like it) instead of parsley - and I kick it up with a bit of jalapeno or hot sauce, depending on who will be eating it.

Why couldn't you use 3/4 cup liquid from the beans instead of water? Seems like that would add more flavor...

The water from the beans is usually very salty. I made the mistake of not draining black beans the first time I used them and was very sorry!
