Black bean papaya chili
This is vegetarian fare with a tropical kick. You can add the papaya before or just after cooking. Papaya takes on a deeper taste when baked. For papaya lovers, cooking papaya is just a way of adding to this favorite fruit's repertoire. It's just a reason to eat more papaya, and eating more fruit is never a bad thing.
