Mango Quesadillas Recipe

This recipe yields 6 servings and features a delicious blend of seasoned black beans, mango, and vegetarian chicken-style strips, all wrapped in a warm tortilla and topped with a zesty salsa.

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 pinch dried oregano
• 1 pinch dried basil
• 1 mango - peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 (6 ounce) package seasoned chicken-style vegetarian strips (such as Lightlife Smart Strips)
• 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup arugula leaves
• 1 (4 ounce) jar jalapeno pepper rings (optional)
• 1 (8 ounce) jar salsa

Directions:

1. Place the black beans in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes. Using a potato masher or large spoon, partially mash the beans. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm until ready to serve.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Season with chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the diced mango and vegetarian chicken strips to the skillet. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until the vegetarian chicken is heated through.
4. In a separate skillet, heat the tortillas one at a time over medium heat for about 2 minutes per side, until soft and warm.
5. Spread an equal amount of the black bean mixture, mango-veggie filling, shredded Cheddar cheese, and arugula onto each warm tortilla. Optionally, add jalapenos.
6. Fold the tortillas over the filling to create a wrap. Top each wrap with a generous spoonful of salsa and serve immediately.
