Black Beans with Mango Salsa

Last night I made one of our go to meals. Black beans with mango salsa. This meal is easy to make, filling and good for you! I love black beans and rice. The mango salsa is perfect with it. The mangoes add some sweetness, the red bell peppers add a nice crunch, and the cilantro brightens up the whole dish.
