Ohhh hay, easy weeknight dinner!

Have you tried Goya’s black bean soup? Man.  It is the most delicious store-bought black bean soup I’ve ever found.  We always have a couple cans of it in our pantry for easy dinners.

And this recipe right here is one such easy dinner.

All ya gotta do is sauté up some veggies.  Add in some fresh fruit.  Then you got this fabulous sautéed salad thing that is made for summer because, ya know, fresh fruit.  Pair it with a black bean & cheese filled quesadilla.  IT’S DINNER!

ENJOY!
