Mango Chili with Black Beans Recipe

This mango chili with black beans is a delicious sweet & spicy take on classic chili! With hearty beans, fresh vegetables, and mango this meatless chili is a easy & tasty dinner.

Let me tell you, adding fresh mango to chili is a little bit of a game-changer!  I love savory mango recipes, and was inspired my the combination of mango black bean salsa.  This chili brings amazing flavors and a little heat. Great to make for game day, a potluck, or a easy weeknight meal.

I love throwing mangoes into savory dishes (hello Thai Mango Coconut Curry!) and it works perfectly in chili. It has fantastically fresh flavors, a little heat, and is packed with protein.

Meal Prep Vegetarian Chili For the Win!

This mango chili recipe is the perfect recipe for easy homemade meal prep.  I am a huge fan of meal prepping, batch cooking, and making recipes ahead.  I love the convenience of cooking once and being able to enjoy homemade meals during the week when I don’t have time. There’s a whole section of TheHerbeevore.com dedicated to my favorite tried & true meal prep recipes. 

With just a little planning and prep, you can have a week’s worth of recipes ready in the time it would take to make one portion.  Just batch cook, divide into individual containers, and place in the fridge or freezer for later!  I also made a list of my favorite meal prep products on Amazon that I use weekly. They make cooking easy.

What’s In This Chili with Mango?

I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!

• Mangoes, Bell Peppers, Onion, Garlic
• Black Beans: Use no salt added or low sodium beans for better flavor and control of the salt in this dish.  I only use low or no sodium beans in my recipes.  You can always add salt in, but it’s impossible to take out.
• Coconut Oil: I always keep a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and baking.  If you make your own beauty products, it also makes a fantastic skin moisturizer too!
• Diced Tomatoes:  I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on!  I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
• No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this no salt vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine.  You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out!  By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
• Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this soup- the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
• Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.

How Do I Make Mango Black Bean Chili?

1. In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over low heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes until the veggies begone to soften.
2. Add the bell pepper, mango, black beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring Tina boil, the reduce to a simmer, and cook for about 30 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Before serving, stir in the cilantro and salt and pepper.
4. Garnish with extra mango, cilantro, and red onion.  Enjoy!
