- 1-2 tsp tajin
- 1-2 limes, juiced
- Optional add-ons: tomatoes, fresh or grilled corn, grilled poblano peppers, avocado
Instructions
- Add black beans, mango, shallot, fresh cilantro, jalapeno, and 1 teaspoon tajin to a large bowl and toss gently to combine. Add the juice of one lime, toss, and add more to taste if needed.
- Serve with tortilla chips or on top of a salad or a protein bowl.

Notes
- Tajin: If you don’t have tajin, you can just use ½ tsp sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Cilantro: If you don’t have fresh cilantro, you can use 2 tsp dried cilantro but it won’t be as flavorful. You can also use fresh parsley if you don’t like cilantro.
