Tips:

Use high-quality beans. Dried beans are best, as they have a more concentrated flavor than canned beans. If you use canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
Soak the beans overnight. This will help to soften them and make them more digestible. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
Season the beans well. Beans have a mild flavor, so it's important to season them well. Use a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper.
Cook the beans until they are tender. The cooking time will vary depending on the type of bean you are using. Check the package directions for specific instructions.
Use a variety of vegetables. Mary's bean tarts are a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add any vegetables you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, peppers, or corn.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is an important part of the bean tarts, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese are all good choices.
Bake the tarts until they are golden brown. The tarts should be baked until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Mary's bean tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables, and they can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make Mary's bean tarts that are sure to impress your family and friends.
