Ingredients

Beans:

  • 2 tsp cooking oil
  • 1/4 cup onion red; diced
  • 1 cup black beans cooked
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp soy sauce (substitute with gluten free tamari if needed)
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed

Tropical Fruit Salsa:

  • 1/3 cup pineapple diced
  • 1/3 cup mango diced
  • 1/4 cup bell pepper red; diced
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes diced
  • 1/2 lime zest and juice
  • 1 jalapeno pepper minced - remove seeds and membranes if less heat preferred
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped fresh
  • salt to taste

For serving:

  • 6 tortillas street taco-style (use corn tortillas for gluten free option)
  • 1 cup broccoli slaw packaged (substitute with greens of choice)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a small saucepan. Add onion, beans, cumin, chili powder, soy sauce, and garlic and cook over medium heat until hot, about 6-8 minutes.
  2. Combine diced pineapple, mango, bell pepper, tomato, lime, jalapeño, cilantro, and salt in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set aside.
  3. Warm tortillas if desired and then lay flat for taco assembly. (Use two tortillas per taco if desired.) Top each tortilla with ⅙ broccoli slaw, ⅙ black beans, and ⅙ fruit salsa. Enjoy!
  4. The black beans and fruit salsa can be made in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For best results, assemble tacos just before serving.
