Yes and no. You can of course use canned beans, but they obviously not be able to survive much more cooking while the spices mellow. The flavors will also never permeate the beans to the same extent, and the texture is not going to be as silky as those cooked from dry and soaked state. Canned beans can also be mushy, and you will want to rinse them to reduce the chance of them tasting tinny. But if you are hungry now, and need dinner in a hurry, and are willing to accept those limitations, then canned beans seasoned in this way will be an acceptable and filling meal.
