(5 from 14 votes)This was utterly wonderful. The flavors were so fresh and delicious. We had plenty of leftovers and used the rest for our late evening salad (we eat our main meal around 2pm). We popped the leftovers on top of mixed spring greens and it was fantastic. The flavors had melded a bit more, so next time for the tacos, I plan to mix the ingredients together a couple hours earlier. So easy, so delicious, will eat again and again!
could you tell me the serving size
I love this and have it ALL.THE.TIME! I eat in tacos but also salad or with chips like a salsa.
Soooooooooo goood, and so easy!
Omg these are fantastic!
Genuinely is as easy as 1,2,3! There is something so satisfying about enjoying a wonderful meal when all you need to make it is a large bowl to throw everything into. The ingredients form a magical combination of sweet, zesty goodness. Mightily refreshing and if you are only making for 2 you have a really fresh lunch left over. Very quick and easy way to impress your vegan better half! :)
Try this
This recipe looks fabulous but where can you get compliant tortillas with no oil and non GMO?
I found compliant corn tortillas at dollar tree
Mango is better than tomato due to acid, and black beans would use half can, and 1 avocado, due to Ckd, have not seen this salsa in stores but will look next time.....
I found my no oil in tortilla in Mexican Grocery Stores.
Amazing, so yummy!
Delish! I bought Paul Newman mango salsa, which turned out to have sugar and corn syrup. But it was yummy and I didn’t use much of it. Not sweating the small stuff.
Perfect - easy with result of an explosion of flavors and textures.
Wish you would make your recipies printable or at least copy and paste. I prefer to have all my recipies in one place.
Sorry, I was able to copy and paste.

do you have recipe for the mango salsa?
Go up to the top and in the search box type "Mango Salsa" and a delicious recipe for mango salsa will come up. It's also in the FOK recipe app.
This was very good… I agree with another review that the mango is a bit overpowering. Next time I think I’ll use less mango and more bell pepper; possibly chop & sauté mushrooms to add into the mix. I did not buy mango salsa & glad I didn’t because the frozen mango I used was more than enough mango flavor.
This was very good. I used frozen mango and diced it, and the red pepper, to approximate the size of the black beans. I omitted the cilantro, which my partner dislikes, and spread guacamole on the tortillas in lieu of going out to get avocados. I put mango salsa on my tortillas, while my partner used regular salsa. We both thought this was very good. In my opinion, the cilantro would be excellent in this recipe, if you are a cilantro fan. This is definitely a keeper.
So good! Made it this evening, but substituting pineapple for mango since the mango was not ripe. Can't wait to try with mango.
The mango salsa makes this dish. It is good! But if you are using it, leave the mangoes out of the filling and try using a yellow or orange bell pepper and diced tomatoes instead of mangoes. It is so pretty, really delicious and you get plenty of mango with the mango salsa.
This was simple to put together and absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend.
Quick, can make ahead of time, and delicious. Wouldn't change a thing.
