   2. While quinoa is cooking, empty 2 cans of beans into saucepan (drain some of the liquid off but not all). Next, add 1/2 cup fresh salsa. Over medium-high heat, cook the beans and salsa until they come to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to simmer and allow to cook until beans thicken- about 5 minutes.
