Recipe adapted from Our Best Bites
I love anything mango. Mango treats, mango chapstick, mango scents. It is just good stuff!
I got the most recent Our Best Bites book that features recipes that are 400 calories or less and when I came across this recipe I knew I had to try it. It had everything I love in it. Black beans, mango and pepper jack cheese.
Recipe calls for one mango but I used two and it was barely enough. So highly recommend two.
I used one of those large plug-in skillets and that was super handy because I could heat up three to four at a time.
I did not serve with sour cream or avocado like it said you could. It was great without it. But I'm sure it would also be great with it.
I didn't over stuff the quesadillas and the recipe only yielded four servings. Four quesadillas is perfect for Ken and I but keep in mind for those of you with big families that you will have to double or triple the recipe.
It is delicious. I LOVE the freshness of the mango with the creaminess of the cheese and the sturdy balance of the beans. HIGHLY recommend this recipe.
I would even consider making things WAY easier on yourself and making the mango salsa and beans in the morning and then storing them in the fridge till dinner. When it's time to eat I would add a little water or chicken stock to the beans and then heat them back up so that you don't risk having cold beans in your quesadillas. Dinner would literally take 3 minutes to make if you did this. I am actually going to do this next time. And then if you have leftovers how great would it be to have everything in the fridge all ready for a fabulous lunch the next day!

This would be great served with some chips and guacamole or some cilantro lime rice.
