Black Bean/Quinoa Cakes with Spicy Sweet Potato Fries

I played with these protein-rich black bean/quinoa cakes for a while before I landed on this delicious version.
Tonight, quinoa cakes are made with black beans, quinoa, red bell pepper and green onions. They’re blanketed with a sweet and savory peach/tomato salsa. The cakes are served with spicy, roasted sweet potatoes and a green salad. (You can use canned peaches if you can’t find fresh peaches.)
