Preparation
Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Drain and rinse the black beans. Juice the lime. Small-dice the tomato. Pick ½ the cilantro leaves off the stems; roughly chop the remaining leaves and stems. Peel and pit the mango; small-dice. Mince the garlic. Halve, peel and small-dice the onion. Roughly chop the chipotle pepper, reserving the adobo sauce.
Start the black beans
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the onion and sauté, 1 to 2 min., until translucent. Add the garlic, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce, ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions) and the spices. Sauté, 2 to 3 min., until fragrant. Add the black beans and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften.
Make the salsa
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mango, tomato, chopped cilantro, ½ the lime juice, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Finish the black beans
Mash the black beans into a thick paste. To the pan of black beans, add the remaining lime juice and S&P.
Assemble & bake the tacos
Arrange the tortillas on a lightly oiled lined sheet pan. Top with the black beans. Fold each tortilla in half to form a taco shape and press down. Flip the tacos over to ensure they stay closed and bake, flipping halfway, 8 to 10 min., until crispy.
Plate your dish
Divide the tacos between your plates. Top with the salsa and remaining cilantro. Serve the pineapple chili sauce on the side. Bon appétit!
