Black Beans and Mango Salsa Taco

Black Beans and Mango Salsa Taco, is inspired by my fondness for mangoes and Mexican food. Being an Indian, Mexican food is very close to my heart and I find ways of making vegetarian dishes with these familiar ingredients. Mangoes are my weakness, whether ripe or unripe, I just love them. Black beans provide lots of soluble and insoluble fiber — both of which can decrease your risk of many chronic diseases and help you stay fuller, longer.

This Taco is bursting with textures and flavours. The sweet and sour taste of half-ripe mangoes along with coloured peppers provides a perfect crunchiness to the dish. The soft mashed black beans / refried beans are good healthy fillings for the tacos. The creamy guacamole dip provides softness and freshness to this taco. This makes a healthy, nutritious meal for our family.
