Toss the black beans with taco seasoning heat them in a small skillet or saucepan until warm.

Sea salt & black pepper to taste Mango Salsa: I’ve been having a major mango moment in case you haven’t noticed.Ĭuban Black Bean & Plantain Plates + Mango Salsaġ (15 ounce) can black beans (about 1 1/2 cups), drained & rinsedĢ large sweet potatoes, sliced into fries I don’t recommend skipping it though because it’s the perfect condiment to finish off this dish. Otherwise you can simply use normal salsa or just skip it. It’s something you should be able to buy from the store if you don’t want to make it. The mango salsa was a last minutes decision, but you know how I always like to keep adding extras in my recipes. It’s just, I was already baking the plantains and I had some perfectly available sweet potatoes around. Now I realize that it’s more traditional in Cuban cuisine to serve this with rice. I actually ate mine in a bowl, but you’re welcome to serve as you like. These “plates”, for lack of a better word, are so simple and fast to prep. That’s how much I liked them so don’t be surprised if they show up here again really soon.Īlright, let’s get to the point here. I found myself just snacking on them by themselves before I’d even finished making this meal. I’d say they’re something like a sweet potato with a fruity twang. That’s why I was so surprised when I made these baked ones because they’re so fricken good! Plantains have always seemed kind of odd to me and I always imagined that they’d taste like bitter bananas. I’m still on this quest to discover all the tastes and uses for every kind of produce I can get my hands on. ![]() Anyway, I’m really excited about this recipe today. You should definitely look it up yourself though. Wait, is google a guy or a gal? Google?………. Wait, plantains are fruits right? Hey Google! Yep, he said they’re fruits.
