Black-Bean Toss

I have to admit that I haven't been good about eating my greens lately, so I found some really good looking salads to try out this week, including this one from Fitness Magazine. It makes a lot of salad, so there's plenty to share. You can't go wrong with this easy Tex-Mex salad. I hope you enjoy!

Makes 4 servings

• 4 5-inch corn tortillas
• 3 tbsp canola oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 chopped red onion
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 large mangoes, peeled and diced*
• 2 15-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1/2 tsp Tabasco (or to taste), or any hot sauce
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 8 cups mixed baby greens

1. Preheat oven to 375. Stack the tortillas and cut them into 1/4 inch wide strips, then toss with 1 tbsp of the canola oil, 1/2 tsp of the cumin and the salt. Mist a baking sheet with cooking spray; arrange the strips in a single layer and bake 10 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell peppers and remaining cumin and cook, stirring 3-4 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in remaining canola oil and the mangoes, black beans, lime juice, Tabasco and cilantro.
3. Divide the greens among four plates and top with the bean mixture and tortilla crisps.

*Cutting a mango is sort of like cutting an avocado. Make an initial slice all the way around the mango lengthwise just off-center. Make another lengthwise cut all the way around on the other side of center (avoiding the really tough center). Set center section aside. With the two halves, cut lengthwise and horizontal rows into the mango without cutting through the outer peel. Invert the mango half and cut off the cubes. With the center section. Cut off as much as you can from the sides and cut off the peel. Then cut into cubes.
