Black Bean and Mango Burritos
/Ingredients:
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cups cooked black beans (about one 15-ounce can)

- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lime juice
- 4 whole wheat tortillas

Method:
- Sauté the onion in the olive oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin, stir and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the black beans and red pepper flakes. Cook to heat through, season with salt. Remove from heat, but keep warm.
- Combine the mango, brown sugar and lime juice in a pan. Cook over medium heat until the mango softens and releases its juices, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
