Tips:

- Soaking the red beans overnight helps to reduce their cooking time and makes them more digestible.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- To make the salsa, be sure to use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give the salsa the best flavor.
- If you like your salsa spicy, add a jalapeño or serrano pepper to the mix.
- Serve the salsa red beans and rice with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, cheese, or avocado.
