Ingredients
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 can mango packed in water, or use a fresh mango
- 1/2 red onion diced
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped or torn
- 1 head butter lettuce for serving
Instructions
- Drain and rinse a can of black beans and add them to a large mixing bowl
- Either peel and chop a ripe mango or drain a can of mango packed in water (not juice) and add it to the bowl with the beans
- Dice 1/2 a red onion, one avocado, and add them to the bowl
- Slice up one lime for serving, and squeeze the juice from another lime into the bowl. This gives a fresh, zesty taste to the recipe and also helps prevent the avocado from browning
- Chop cilantro and add it to the bowl, along with some sea salt and cayenne pepper
- Stir everything well and spoon some into a washed and dried lettuce leaf. Serve with lime wedges and extra cilantro for garnish
