Instructions

In a large saute pan, caramelize onions with a small drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Stir often, and cook 15-20 minutes or so, until onions are golden brown, tender, and sweet. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a medium bowl, stir together onions, beans, mango, bell pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and chili powder. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
Divide filling among the 4 tortillas, placing filling on one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese and fold tortillas in half to cover the filling and cheese. Cook in a dry pan over medium heat until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until golden and cheese is melted, another 3-5 minutes.

Notes

*Gluten/Dairy Free Notes: Don’t roll your eyes on me, but you can skip the cheese. I love this filling even without the cheese. As for the tortillas, use brown rice tortillas. Easy-peasy!
