Today’s Dish: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, food lovers! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos. This dish is perfect for a summer get-together or just a cozy night in when you’re craving something with a kick. The combination of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors will tantalize your taste buds in the best way possible.

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • chicken breast (200g, diced)
  • ripe mango (150g, diced)
  • red bell pepper (100g, sliced)
  • red onion (50g, sliced)
  • jalapeno pepper (1, minced)
  • lime (1, juiced)
  • garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • ground cumin (1 tsp)
  • chili powder (1 tsp)
  • smoked paprika (1 tsp)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • tortillas (for serving)

To create this dish, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • chopping board
  • knife
  • citrus juicer

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat and adding a splash of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the diced chicken breast and season with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken until it’s browned and cooked through, then transfer it to a plate.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and toss in the minced garlic, red onion, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper. Saute the vegetables until they’re tender and fragrant. Then, add the diced mango to the mix along with the cooked chicken.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the entire mixture and give it a good stir to combine all the flavors. Let everything cook together for a few minutes until the mango is soft and the chicken is heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Warm up your tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave, then spoon the spicy mango chicken mixture into each tortilla. Feel free to garnish with additional lime wedges, cilantro, or your favorite hot sauce.

This recipe serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 200g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos is around 300 calories.

A clever tip for this dish is to char the tortillas slightly over an open flame before filling them. This adds a delicious smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the spicy mango chicken mixture.

I hope you enjoy making these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos as much as I enjoyed creating this recipe. Don’t be afraid to get creative and put your own twist on it. Bon appétit!
