Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cassava flour pancakes — Make sure to heat them gently to avoid them becoming too crispy.
- Black beans — If using canned black beans, rinse them thoroughly before cooking to reduce sodium content.
- Mango and pineapple — Choose ripe fruits for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Jalapeno pepper — Adjust the amount according to your desired level of spiciness.
- Fresh cilantro — Use it as a garnish for a burst of freshness.
Tips & Tricks
- If cassava flour pancakes are not available, you can use corn tortillas as a substitute.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some crumbled Brazilian cheese (such as queijo coalho) on top of the black beans.
- If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper before chopping.
- Serve with a side of Brazilian hot sauce (such as pimenta malagueta) for an extra kick of spice.
- To make it heartier, you can add slices of avocado or a dollop of sour cream on top.
