Expert Tips

Rinsing the beans helps to remove much of the salt used in the canning process.

I just made this for the first time and I will definitely be making this many times in the future!! I couldn't find the particular brand of salsa it calls for; so I used another one that contained cilantro. I also used a green pepper instead of red. It is delicious even without giving it time to marinate! I can't wait for dinner tonight!!
