Stuff a soft-shell tortilla with seasoned black beans, mango salsa, and pile it high with fresh veggies to top it off.

Ingredients

Black Bean Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cup black beans, cooked or canned
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • pinch sea salt

Mango Salsa:

  • 2 cups mango, diced
  • 1 cup tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1 clove fresh garlic, pressed
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, plus about a tsp of juice
  • pinch sea salt

Toppings:

  • 1 cup avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 lime, sliced into wedges
  • 6 whole grain wrap, corn or wheat tortillas

Instructions

  • Rinse and drain the beans. If you are using dried beans in your healthy vegan recipes, they must be fully cooked before you begin.
  • Stir the spices in with the beans and give them at least 10 minutes to infuse into the beans. Meanwhile, put together the salsa by mixing the ingredients in a bowl. The beans and the salsa are best prepared at least a few hours ahead of time, so that the flavors have time to combine.
  • When you are ready to eat, warm the tortillas in a toaster oven, oven or skillet. The fun of tacos is assembling them at the table, so set everything out and prepare to make a mess. Don't forget the lime wedges to squeeze onto your creations.

Notes

You could use 1 Tbsp chili powder in place of the spices in the black bean filling.
