Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large fresh mango, diced
  • 1 habanero pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the garlic and half of the diced red onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and flavorful.
  5. In a blender or food processor, combine the mango, habanero pepper, lime juice, and honey. Blend until mostly smooth.
  6. Pour the mango habanero mixture into a small saucepan and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or directly over a flame.
  8. Fill each tortilla with the seasoned black beans.
  9. Top with mango habanero sauce, avocado slices, shredded lettuce, cilantro, and remaining red onion.
  10. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • Reduce the habanero amount or replace it with jalapeño for a milder version.
  • Add roasted sweet potatoes, grilled corn, tofu, shrimp, or chicken for extra variety.
  • Use corn or flour tortillas depending on your preference.
  • Store the bean filling and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Add fresh toppings right before serving for the best texture.
  • For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
