Mouthwatering Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos: A Recipe to Savor

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Summer is in full swing, and I couldn’t resist sharing this vibrant and flavorful recipe for spicy mango chicken tacos. The combination of juicy mangoes, tender chicken, and a kick of spice is perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a backyard barbecue. Let’s dive into the details!

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
• mango, diced (2 medium)
• chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped (2 peppers)
• lime, juiced (1)
• cumin (1 tsp)
• garlic, minced (2 cloves)
• red onion, thinly sliced (1)
• tortillas (8 small or 4 large)
• avocado, sliced (1)
• cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• tongs
• chef’s knife

To start, marinate the chicken thighs in the chipotle peppers, lime juice, cumin, and minced garlic for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill the chicken until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

While the chicken is grilling, warm the tortillas on the grill pan or directly on the stove until they are soft and pliable. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assemble your tacos by placing a few strips of chicken on each tortilla, topping with diced mango, sliced red onion, avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro. Feel free to drizzle some additional lime juice over the top for an extra burst of freshness.

These spicy mango chicken tacos are best served immediately, while everything is still warm and the flavors are at their peak. The combination of sweet mango, smoky chipotle, and savory chicken is simply irresistible.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle some crumbled cotija cheese on top of your tacos before serving. The salty tanginess of the cheese pairs perfectly with the sweet mango and spicy chicken.
