Today’s Creation: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

As the weather starts to cool down, I find myself craving something bright and flavorful to lift my spirits. That’s why today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos. This dish combines the heat of spicy chicken with the sweetness of ripe mangoes, creating a perfect balance of flavors that will surely wow your taste buds.

To make these delicious tacos, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • boneless, skinless chicken thighs (400g)
  • mango (1 large)
  • red onion (1/2)
  • jalapeno (1)
  • lime (1)
  • tortillas (8)
  • chili powder (1 tbsp)
  • cumin (1 tbsp)
  • salt (1 tsp)
  • pepper (1/2 tsp)
  • olive oil (2 tbsp)

Before you start, make sure you have the following kitchen tools on hand:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grill pan
  • citrus juicer

Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Once cooked, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the mango salsa by dicing the mango, red onion, and jalapeno. Mix them together in a bowl and squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with slices of grilled chicken and top with the mango salsa. Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite.

Once the tacos are ready, you’ll have a total dish weight of approximately 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving will weigh around 300g, with an approximate calorie count of 400 per serving.

A unique tip to enhance the flavor of these tacos is to lightly toast the tortillas over an open flame for a smoky taste. This simple step adds a depth of flavor that takes the dish to the next level.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos a try and have fun customizing them to your taste. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients or spice levels to make it your own. Enjoy!
