  I found this easy recipe a while ago and now I can’t find the source, but it’s very tasty and great to keep in the refrigerator for an extra fruit & veggie boost to your daily diet. It’s great to try with home-made baked potato “chips”, as a salad topping or with my new favorite jalapeno tortilla chips from Food Should Taste Good. They’re perfectly spicy! Food Should Taste Good has other flavors that I’m sure are delicious, but I always gravitate to the jalapeno flavor!  I promise to try the other flavors and give you a review.  I like these tortilla chips because they do not contain any artificial ingredients and they’re so tasty, but they are still 140 calories per ounce (as opposed to about 25 calories per ounce for home-made baked potato chips), so you should eat them with vegetables or vegetable dips like this salsa if you need help with portion control.  

   

  I use the Trader Joe’s frozen mangos in place of fresh mango, just allow to defrost before mixing.

   

  Ingredients
  1 large mango, chopped
  1/3 cup red onion, chopped
  1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
  1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  Juice of 1 lime

   

  Preparation
  Combine mango, red onion, black beans, cilantro and jalapeno in a medium bowl. Squeeze lime juice over mixture. Stir well, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
