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

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 1 pinch dried oregano

  • 1 pinch dried basil

  • 1 mango - peeled, seeded and diced
