- 1 14 ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine diced mango, shallot, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss thoroughly, and refrigerate if desired.
- Mash the black beans in a bowl with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and garlic powder, leaving some whole beans for texture.

Notes
Make the mango salsa a few hours in advance for even better flavor.
For a spicier option, leave some seeds in the jalapeno pepper.
Adjust the amount of lime juice to taste for added tang.
