Beachside Black Bean & Mango-Salsa Bowls
plus Guacamole, Cilantro & Hot Sauce
This beachy-keen vegan bean bowl with a tropical spin breezes its way onto the table in just 15 minutes, thanks to a few hacks from our chefs and a quick twirl in the microwave. You’ll pile savory simmered black beans atop quick-cooking rice stirred with lime zest and cilantro. Next come all the tasty fixins: a mango-studded, lime-infused pico de gallo, dollops of creamy guacamole, chopped cilantro, and a drizzle of hot sauce. Hit it with one more squeeze of lime just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.

Cooking Steps
• Drain beans. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add half the beans, ¼ cup water (all the beans and 1⁄3 cup water for 4 servings), stock concentrate, Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered until ready to serve.
• While beans simmer, wash and dry produce.
• Roughly chop cilantro. Zest and quarter lime.
• Drain mango and place in a small bowl; add pico de gallo, a pinch of cilantro, and juice from one lime wedge (two lime wedges for 4 servings).
• Massage rice in package to break up grains. Tear off top 2 inches of pouch to vent. Microwave until warmed through, 90 seconds. (Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the microwaved pouch.)
• Place rice in a large bowl and add lime zest, half the remaining cilantro, juice from one lime wedge (two lime wedges for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. TIP: For richer-tasting rice, stir in 1-2 TBSP butter.
• Divide cilantro-lime rice between shallow bowls and top with beans and mango salsa. Dollop with guacamole and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Drizzle bowls with as much hot sauce as you like and serve with remaining lime wedges.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty blend of beans, mango salsa, and guacamole, though some found it needed more spice or seasoning.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, but some felt the 15-minute estimate was optimistic for less experienced cooks.
- Suggestions: Consider using fresh mango instead of canned for better texture and flavor. Try adding extra hot sauce or spices for more kick.
- Rice: Several found the microwaveable rice clumpy or hard; cooking fresh rice on the stovetop improved the dish for many.
- Portions: Some felt the meal was a bit small; try using the whole can of beans or adding a protein like fish for a heartier dish.
