Ingredients
Tortillas
Onion
Poblano and/or jalapeno pepper
Black beans
Mango
Avocado
Cilantro (optional)
Cheese or vegan cheese
Olive oil
Directions
1. Start by sauteing some onion and poblano pepper in olive oil (or use jalapeno instead of poblano for more kick).
2. Add black beans and stir until beans are warm.
3. Turn off the heat and add chopped mango and chopped avocado. Cilantro would also be a good addition (but I didn’t have any at the time).
4. Warm either butter or olive oil in a pan and place a tortilla flat in the pan. Cover the tortilla with cheese or soy cheese. Add the bean & mango filling. Add more cheese or soy cheese (I use it like glue to hold the quesadilla together) and place another tortilla on top.
5. Flip the quesadilla to brown the other side. Cut & serve.

Yep, the mango really gives it that extra “zing,” otherwise it’s just a boring quesadilla! You could also try it with pineapple or nectarine.

I was glad to see this recipe! I’ve been making black bean and mango tacos for some time now and the combo is fantastic. I’ll have to try it in a quesadilla… Mango also seems to work really well with avocado – I frequently put a lil’ mango in my guacamole, and one of my fav simple salads is fresh greens with avocado, mango and a vinaigrette. Cheers to your wonderful blog :)
