The flavor and texture of mango goes well with black beans and Cheddar cheese in this easy main dish. The recipe uses vegetarian chicken substitute, but real chicken would work just as well.

Ingredients

  • black beans: 1 can (15 ounce can, drained)
  • vegetable oil: 1 Tbsp
  • onion: 0.5 piece (chopped)
  • red bell pepper: 1 piece (chopped)
  • chili powder: 1 tsp
  • pinch cayenne pepper: 1 piece
  • pinch dried oregano: 1 piece
  • pinch dried basil: 1 piece
  • mango: 1 piece (peeled, diced)
  • seasoned chicken-style vegetarian strips (such as Lightlife Smart Strips®): 1 pack (6 ounce pack)
  • flour tortillas: 6 piece (10 inch)
  • cheddar cheese: 1 pack (8 ounce pack, shredded)
  • arugula leaves: 1 cup
  • jalapeno pepper rings: 1 jar (4 ounce jar, optional)
