Nice, quick and easy. I was so pleased when I found a recipe that included all things I had on hand. You could even use dried black beans if you planned the day ahead and got them soaked and cooked til they were about the same firmness of canned. I never would have given a thought to pureeing the black beans and am glad to have had the idea given to me.

I also cut this recipe into thirds since I only had one can of beans, and I didn't have onions or lime juics but the salsa I used had onions and peppers so it still tasted amazing. After staying home sick for 3 days with next to nothing in my pantry, this was perfect, simple, and really yummy.

I used only 1 can of organic beans and cut everything into thirds because I was just making this for me and it made multiple servings. I also added Dry English Mustard, Cayanne Pepper, Black Pepper, Chili Powder and a dash of Oregano and some Kosher salt because it was a little bland before and I like things with heat. I pureed the salsa and onions and garlic with the beans too b/c I don't like them as much. And I added fresh cut tomatoes and chick peas to the puree to get some extra veggies in. This is FANTASTIC!
