Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat the broiler and adjust the oven rack to about 6 inches from the heat. Grease a baking sheet.

Slice the tofu and polenta into even slabs, then brush with olive oil and arrange them on the baking sheet.
-
Broil the tofu and polenta until the tops are crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
-
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the banana slices until golden and crispy on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
-
Pour the entire can of black beans into a blender and blend until smooth, forming a thick sauce.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the mango, chopped onion, jalapeño pepper, and salt.

To assemble the arepas, place a slice of polenta on each plate. Top with a portion of the bean sauce, a slice of tofu, banana slices, avocado, and finish with a dollop of mango salsa.
