Black Bean-and-Plantain Burritos

Mari Kermit-Canfield lives in Bloomington, Ind., where she loves to cook up veggie meals. We went bananas for her Caribbean fusion burritos. Top each burrito with a dollop of store-bought mango salsa, or try Mari’s own recipe, which can be found at vegetariantimes.com/spicymangosalsa.
