Notes

  • Texture Tip: If you like very smooth beans, you can pulse the drained beans and salsa in a food processor before adding them to the skillet.
  • Scaling Tip (Meal Prep): This recipe doubles easily for a work week. If making a double batch, use a larger skillet to ensure the liquid evaporates evenly. These keep well in the fridge for 4 days.
  • Spice Level: Control the heat by choosing a mild, medium, or hot salsa.
