Introducing: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a fresh and vibrant recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos. As the weather starts to warm up, I find myself craving dishes that are both flavorful and colorful. These tacos are a perfect combination of tangy, sweet, and spicy, making them a delightful option for a weeknight dinner or a weekend fiesta.

Preparation

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

  • 300g chicken breast, diced
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of cilantro, chopped
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Next, equip yourself with the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

Cooking Instructions

Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and season with cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced red onion, minced jalapeño, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Warm the corn tortillas in the skillet for a few seconds on each side until they are pliable. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the seasoned chicken and mango salsa. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrus.

Serving

This recipe yields approximately 6 tacos. Each serving weighs around 120g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per taco.

Tips

For a refreshing twist, try grilling the mango for a few minutes before dicing it for the salsa. The slight char adds a smoky flavor that pairs beautifully with the spicy jalapeño and tangy lime.

I hope you enjoy these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos as much as I do! Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make this dish your own. Let me know in the comments how you decided to customize this recipe to suit your taste buds. Happy cooking!
