"The flavor and texture of mango goes well with black beans and Cheddar cheese in this easy main dish. The recipe uses vegetarian chicken substitute, but real chicken would work just as well."

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 1 pinch dried basil
  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
  • 1 (6 ounce) package seasoned chicken-style vegetarian strips (such as Lightlife Smart Strips®)
  • 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup arugula leaves
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar jalapeno pepper rings (optional)
  • 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

Directions

  1. Place the beans in a saucepan over medium heat, and cook 5 minutes. Partially mash with a potato masher or large spoon. Reduce heat to low, and keep warm until ready to serve.
  2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and red bell pepper. Season with chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender.
