Recipe notes
My mango salsa -- with a few tweaks -- is the base for this mango taco recipe. I've upped the amounts of a few ingredients, so those flavors don't get lost when you add in the beans.
Start by mixing up all of the salsa ingredients in a bowl. Then, set this aside while you drain and rinse a can of black beans and slice up a Haas avocado.
It's important that you let the salsa sit for at least a few minutes, because it will start to get a bit saucy as it sits. In fact, you can make the salsa the night before, if you want to!
Now, toss the rinsed beans into the bowl of salsa, and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Divvy the mango-black bean salsa mixture up between corn tortillas, top each taco off with some sliced avocado, and dinner is served!
If you like, you can also top your mango tacos with a drizzle of vegan sour cream or cashew cream and a sprinkle of cilantro. I like how this looks and the added texture and flavor it brings to the mix.
How to store
Store leftover filling in an airtight container, separate from the tortillas and any toppings. Leftovers will keep for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator.
I recommend only slicing the avocado for as many tacos as you know you're making, since it doesn't keep well after slicing. If you do have leftover sliced avocado, toss it with lime juice before storing to help prevent browning and use it by the next day. It won't spoil, but it will look very off-putting!
