Black Bean Avocado Mango Tacos

by | May 4, 2016

These tacos.

Let me break it down for you, warm sprouted tortillas are spread with a generous layer of creamy refried beans, hearty black beans, roasted corn, salsa fresca, crispy romaine lettuce, and then topped with a heaping portion of fresh avocado & sweet mango. For a finishing touch plus a gentle jalapeño-induced kick, each taco is drizzled with a honey-jalapeno dressing. You’ll want to roll up your sleeves and get right into the action.

Each fully loaded bite is packed with so many mind-blowing flavors & textures.

In case you need another reason for a fiesta on Cinco de Mayo, I’m thrilled to inform you that they happen to be super healthy and will not derail your efforts to be beach body ready come summer. After all, there are tons of veggies involved, along with heart-healthy avocado, and antioxidant-rich mango. Gluten-free people, feel free to swap flour tortillas for corn and if you are counting carbs you should definitely try lettuce wrapping these bad boys.

Happy Cinco de Mayo, compadres!
