Jacki’s Review of Black Bean Mango Salsa, Taquitos, PB/White Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yum!  I thought these recipes made for a very good meal.  I will start with the Black Bean and Mango Salsa – loved it.  I just ate it with a spoon.  I didn’t make any changes to the recipe.  It had a very fresh and healthy taste.   I did change the recipe a bit for the Chipotle Beef Taquitos.  I used chicken instead of beef and I omitted the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and used a little bit of chipotle chili powder instead – much easier and less waste.  My tortillas were a bit thick so they didn’t roll up as tight but were still really tasty.  For the cheese I just used some pre-grated Mexican style cheese.  I served the taquito’ s and salsa with refried beans and some watermelon.  I made the cookies for dessert.  I first made these cookies a couple of weeks ago and they are so good – you must make them!

Isn’t that salsa just gorgeous looking?

Mmm, sounds and looks good!! I haven't tried these recipes yet but plan on this coming week. After reading your review, Im sure that we will like all three recipes. Good idea about the peppers and using the powder instead :)
