For the Mango Salsa:

  • 1 mango, cubed small
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Sea salt & black pepper to taste


For the Creamy Chipotle Sauce:

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Quinoa & Black Bean Filling by combining the quinoa, water, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a simmer over medium heat, cover and turn down to medium low.  Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed.  Add the black beans, toss with a fork, and cover until serving.
  2. Prepare the Mango Salsa by tossing all the salsa ingredients together in a bowl.  Season with sea salt and black pepper, to taste.  Set the salsa aside to let the flavors come together for about 10 minutes before serving.
  3. Prepare the Creamy Chipotle Sauce by combining all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.  Whisk well until it’s smooth.
  4. To assemble: warm the tortillas gently and fill with the quinoa filling, mango salsa, avocado, cotija, and chipotle sauce.
