I love a good mango salsa. (I mean, who doesn’t?) It’s so fun and versatile – some of my favorite additions have been roasted jalapeños, smoked paprika, diced avocado, and even sesame & ginger.
Today’s special ingredient: Mango Habanero Jam. I know, I know, it’s not in your pantry already, but I just loved this salsa so much I had to share it anyway. It’s sweet, juicy and spicy with a little nice kick from the jam. (A little bit goes long way).
I didn’t realize mango habanero jam was missing from my life until it showed up recently in my Hatchery Box. I’ve been loving my Hatchery subscription – it’s like mini-christmas once a month to get a box full of sample-sized artisan ingredients to try. I find that it often takes just one unique ingredient to elevate simple meals into something special.
These really couldn’t be easier – just chop and mix your ingredients – salsa, avocado, black beans, etc, and stuff them into a tortilla. (Add cheese if you want, but these are plenty flavorful without). Next time I might switch things up by adding a grilled piece of halibut or salmon.
Update: Hatchery’s Mango Habanero Jam isn’t available anymore but here are some other ideas of what to use instead:
– Add chipotle spices to your mango salsa – ie, a spoonful of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo.
– Add roasted jalapeños or habaneros to your mango salsa (or even a squeeze of sriracha for kick).
– Use any sweet/savory jam – I’ve seen spicy peach jams at farmers markets and whole foods, something like that would work well here.
- 1 small mango, diced
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 diced red padrone pepper (or ¼ cup red bell)
- juice of 1 lime
- splash of olive oil
- handful of cilantro, chopped
- ¾ cup cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1-2 teaspoons mango-habanero jam or similar (see notes below)
- 4-6 flour (or gluten free corn) tortillas
- optional: crumbled cotija cheese
- optional: greek yogurt w/ lime & salt
- In a medium bowl stir together diced mango, red onion, red pepper, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, avocado, black beans and 1-2 teaspoons of mango habanero jam. Add a few generous pinches of salt. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to use.
- Char (or warm) your tortillas, and fill.
- Optional: top with crumbly cheese and/or seasoned greek yogurt (or sour cream), and extra habanero jam on the side.
Ooh! I’ve had apricot-habanero jam in the fridge for sandwiches and biscuits, and I love it. A mango version sounds great!
ooh, sounds like a delicious sandwich spread!
Feel like I’m missing out on habanero jam! Love how colorful it is and bet it tastes absolutely delicious!
I love a good mango salsa too, and you can never go wrong with black beans, avocado, and mango. One of my all-time fav combos!
definitely one of my top 5 combos 🙂
YUM. I’ve never tried that sort of spread, but the combo sounds really good (I don’t usually like fresh mango, but in other forms I like its taste). Thanks for sharing!

thanks! peaches or pineapple would be a good sub…
Yummy
Mango salsa is so refreshing <3
I love a good mango salsa so much too!! This looks great!
This looks scrumptious and the mango looks like the perfect accompaniment to all that spice!
These sound delicious! I’ve been craving mango salsa lately.
Yum! Mango salsa is, in my opinion, the superior salsa and black beans are the best beans (sorry, pinto!). This looks amazing.
Where do you get your tortillas? They look more like pita bread yum! What brand and store please,
Thank you this looks delicious 😉
I just tried these for the first time (they’re delicious), a local brand called Paqui (http://paqui.com/). I got them at Whole Foods, but I’ve seen them all around Austin (I’m not sure if they’re sold outside of Texas).
that subscription box sounds like a great idea..
These look so delicious and I totally agree that one special item can truly elevate a dish. I hadn’t heard of Hatchery before and I’m excited to check it out!

Do you think the mango salsa could be made in advance? I’m going camping next weekend and would love to take some!
yep, definitely! It needs to be chilled, but would be fine in a cooler. If you’re going to add avocado, bring it separately and slice/mix it in just before you eat it.
Yep, what’s there not to love about mango salsa? Or mango anything? Or salsa any style? Mixed with black beans in a taco is marvelous idea. You get points!
