Quick Salsa Fresca

This is a great quick way to whip up a Salsa Fresco.  We served this up with some fish tacos the other night.  We also had a cabbage salad which had cilantro in it, so I skipped it here, but you could definitely add cilantro to this recipe if you wanted to.

Another great thing about this Salsa Fresca, is the next night, I added some olive oil to the leftovers and used it to marinate and cook some chicken breasts in.  Very tasty.

Here's what you need:
1/4 a large purple onion, diced
1/3 a red pepper, diced
2 roma tomatoes, sliced and quatered
fresh lime juice
salt and pepper to taste
optional, cilantro

Step away from your typical lunch of a turkey sandwich.  This quesdailla is just as fast to make.

Here's what you need for 1:

1/2 cup of rinsed and drained canned black beans
1/4 cup of shredded cheese, I used colby jack
1 teaspoon of unsalted butter
