Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by rinsing the black beans thoroughly, dicing the ripe mango and avocado into small, uniform cubes, and chopping fresh cilantro.
- In a medium skillet, warm the black beans over medium heat. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the beans are warming, heat the corn tortillas individually in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side until they become slightly crisp and develop light char marks.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the warmed black beans and gently stir to incorporate the citrus flavor.
- Assemble the tacos by placing a spoonful of warm black beans on each tortilla as the base layer.
- Top the beans with diced mango and avocado, ensuring an even distribution of ingredients.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro over each taco for added freshness and color.
- Finish by adding an extra squeeze of lime juice and a final pinch of salt if desired.
- Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and ingredients are fresh.
Tips
- Choose ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness - look for fruits that yield slightly when gently pressed.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your corn tortillas over an open flame to get those beautiful char marks.
- Drain and rinse canned black beans thoroughly to reduce sodium and improve texture.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika to the beans for a deeper, more complex flavor profile.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm beans and cool, fresh mango and avocado.
- For added heat, include some diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- If you're not serving immediately, keep components separate to prevent soggy tortillas.
