Whether you use canned beans (it’s okay!) or cook your own, the pinto beans make a savory, hearty foundation. Then, when you make the homemade salsa, things get really interesting! With grilled corn, onion, jalapeño peppers, fresh tomatoes, cilantro and lime, there’s a whole lot of pop — plus that smoky, fabulous flavor from the grill. Rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, this dish is as nutritious as it is delicious. And you can whip it up in a snap.
1 1/4 cup dried pinto beans or 2 (15-ounce) cans (no salt) pinto beans
