Corn Cups:

10 six-inch corn tortillas

Vegetable oil for brushing the tortillas

 

Sizzlin' Hot Salsa:

2 ripe mangoes

1 cup cooked black beans

3 green onions, finely chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

2 tsp. fresh ginger root, minced

1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

3 Tbsp. lime juice

1 Tbsp. brown rice syrup

Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a cookie or biscuit cutter, cut

the tortillas into 2-inch circles. Brush both sides of each circle

with vegetable oil and press the circles into miniature muffin tins.

Bake the tortilla circles for six minutes or until they are crisp. Let

cool.

Peel the mangoes and dice them into 1/4-inch pieces. Combine the

mangoes with the remaining ingredients and stir gently. Add additional

lime juice, brown rice syrup, or salt, if needed. Place a heaping

teaspoon of salsa into each corn cup.

Makes about 30 cups.
