Instructions



1. To prepare ravioli, combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl. Working with 1 won ton at a time (cover the remaining wrappers with a damp cloth to keep from drying), spoon about 1 tablespoon green chili mixture into the center of each wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with water, and bring opposite corners together. Press edges together firmly with fingers, forming a triangle. Place the ravioli on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch. Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add ravioli, and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Add broth; cook, covered, 1 minute. Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon. Keep warm.
   
   
2. To prepare the sauce, combine cilantro, vinegar, tomatoes, and black beans in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Spoon sauce over ravioli.
