I posted these recipes on my Facebook page over the summer, but these are great year round!  Mango salsa is da bomb on fish tacos and the black bean salsa packs a flavor punch to burritos. Think Benecio del Toro on a plate.  Is it getting caliente in here, or is it just me?

Benecio is my ‘celebrity free pass,’ by the way…any hot, rugged man with a last name that means “of the bull” is hawt.  I won’t go into my personal thoughts about JP’s celebrity free pass choice of Megan (can’t act but sure has cute fake boobs) Fox.

It’s prolly no coincidence that Benecio actually looks like a Latino version of JP– with those brooding, hooded green eyes and full luscious lips. *sigh.

Pretty boys just don’t do it for me.

Hungry yet?  I am!

MANGO SALSA

Squeeze ½ lime

Mix together and top on tacos or eat alone as a mango salad

 

BLACK BEAN SALSA

1 can of Black Beans drained

½ red bell pepper chopped

2 pinches of fresh chopped cilantro

1 jalapeño chopped (no seeds)

Mix together and serve hot as a side dish or cold as a salsa. Combine with mango salsa too, for double the delicious!

And Benecio, querido, cariño, lemme know if you ever need a homecooked meal….
