Directions
Start by preparing the mango salsa. This can even be done ahead of time to let the flavors marry together. Combine the diced mangoes, chopped onion, minced jalapeno, lime juice, and cilantro in a bowl. Sprinkle salt to taste, mix everything well, and set it aside to allow the juices to blend naturally.
Move on to preparing the taco filling. Warm a large pan over medium heat and add the drained and rinsed black beans. Season with cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir regularly for a consistent flavor profile. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the beans are thoroughly heated.
It's essential to warm your tortillas before assembling the tacos. I've found that this can dramatically improve the texture and taste. Simply warm them up on a stovetop over low heat for around 10-15 seconds on each side or until they get soft and pliable.
Now, the fun part – assembling the tacos. Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate, spread a generous amount of the black bean mixture down the center, and then top it off with a lavish helping of the mango salsa.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas, and your Mango Salsa Tacos are ready to be served and savoured!
