Chicken, Mango, Black Bean Rice Bowls

Mexican and Tex-Mex food are staples in our house. The flavor combinations, the variety of ingredients, and the general comfort the food brings to us. As I have said in previous posts, I am looking for a good substitution for corn in my recipes. In this recipe, I used zucchini in place of corn. Truthfully, we didn't miss the corn. The real stars in this recipe are the black beans and mangoes. This is another easy 30 minute meal. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
