Sizzle up Your Taco Night with Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Today’s Unique Recipe: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Greetings, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of spicy chicken for a truly unique taco experience. This dish is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a fun weekend meal that will leave everyone wanting more.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
• ripe mango (1)
• red onion (1)
• jalapeno (1)
• lime (1)
• garlic cloves (2)
• tortillas (4-6)
• cilantro (a handful)
• ground cumin (1 tsp)
• paprika (1 tsp)
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• grill pan
• mixing bowl
• tongs
• citrus juicer

Start by marinating the chicken thighs with the juice of half the lime, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb all those flavors. In the meantime, dice the ripe mango, red onion, jalapeno, and cilantro to create a fresh and vibrant salsa.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken thighs for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char. Once done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them into thin strips.

Warm up the tortillas on the grill pan for about 30 seconds on each side to get a nice toasty flavor. Now it’s time to assemble your tacos! Fill each tortilla with the sliced chicken, mango salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice for an extra kick of freshness.

Sprinkle some extra cilantro on top for a burst of color and flavor. Serve these spicy mango chicken tacos hot and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors in every bite.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, which will make about 4-6 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g, and you can expect roughly 350 calories per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to add a touch of honey to the mango salsa for an extra layer of sweetness that perfectly complements the spicy chicken.

I hope you give these spicy mango chicken tacos a try and make them your own by adjusting the spice level or adding your favorite toppings. Happy cooking!
