Thanks for sharing this one! It was quick, delicious, and easy 😀 Used it at a party with friends & it was a hit. I’ll definitely be making these again!

Aloha.
I want to go to Hawaii and sell these black bean tacos from a food truck.
Rain and cold can do that to me.
But I don’t really want to do that.
I have a little secret: what I really want to do is snuggle up with a blanket, sweatshirt, hot chocolate (extra whipped cream), and a mild mystery novel. Because I actually kind of like cold, rainy days.
Did you notice that these pretty tacos are meatless? You’re smart like that.
But if that’s not your thing, add some spicy fish, chicken, or shrimp.
And for all two of my vegan friends, this could easily be made vegan with some small adjustments to the sauce.
Win win win win win!
Mango Black Bean Tacos
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
These simple, easy, and fresh mango black bean tacos have a deliciously creamy coconut sauce drizzled over the top. So yummy!
Ingredients
- 2 diced mangoes
- 20 oz. black beans (about 1 1/2 cans)
- 3–4 tbs. diced red onion
- 1 tbs. diced jalapeno
- 1 lime
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 2/3 cup sour cream
- 1 tbs. white sugar
- olive oil, salt, pepper
- a handful of fresh cilantro
- corn tortillas
Instructions
- Dice the mangoes, jalapenos, and red onions. Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Combine fresh cilantro, 1 tbs. red onion, juice of 1 lime, and mangoes in a small bowl. Set aside. In another small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, coconut milk, and sugar. Set aside.
- Saute black beans, red onion, and jalapeno in a little bit of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Saute gently because the beans will “mush” easily if you get too rough with the spatula. When onions and jalapenos have softened, remove mixture from heat.
- Layer the black beans and mangoes on a warmed corn tortilla. Drizzle with cream and enjoy!

You should wear a lei while you eat these. And you should drink the cream sauce from a coconut.
Oh, and for the record, I’d go to Hawaii in the blink of an eye. What’s your dream destination?
I’m just finding this post today and although summer is long gone, I’m making these tomorrow… they sound too good to wait!
I hope you like them! I could drink that coconut cream sauce that goes on top … it’s so good.
amazing flavors! thanks for sharing…I can’t wait to go home and eat the leftovers!
Glad you liked them!
I pinned these and was so excited to try them tonight–they were A huge hit with all of my meat eating boys (ages 38, 6, and 2)!! Love this recipe!! I added avocado too!
These sound amazing, but I’m wondering how to make these without dairy. I’m breast feeding and can’t eat dairy…for now 😉
Linz, Just substitute vegan sour cream and voila you have a non-dairy sauce for your taco. Thanks, Lindsay, for your fab blog…

These are the most delicious things of my life. Like birthday dinner every year delicious. Wow.

Thanks Sarah!
Amazing Recipe! I really like it. It’s looking so delicious.
Love these tacos! Tonight I added shrimp. However, I have quite a bit of the coconut sour cream sauce leftover. Any suggestions what I can make using the cream sauce?
What could I replace the coconut milk with? I’m allergic
Hi, Hillary! We haven’t tested out a substitution for the coconut milk yet, but we’d recommend testing out a little bit of oil + either plain cashew or almond milk.
Mango black bean tacos are quite new and eye-catching dish. I really like this dish.

Come with us, the choice could not help but make you satisfied. trust me. Because everything works strangely accurate.
looking so delicious..i want to try it yummy
I just found this today and cooked this for my 2 sons who are 6.4 and 6.5. They’re big boys and both love meat so I only made a small amount thinking they wouldn’t like it. They both loved it!!!! I made spanish rice with it and omitted the cilantro because it tastes like soap to all of us. Thank you because I’m not a big meat eater and now I can cook something without meat that we all like.
So glad the recipe was a hit, Dawn! Thanks for the comment!
So so good. Kids loved them too. Made as written, except for using flour tortillas instead of corn. Thank you for a healthy, easy, delicious, and family-friendly recipe!
These are the tastiest foods I’ve ever eaten. Like a fantastic annual birthday meal.
