Today’s Delightful Recipe: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a vibrant and delicious recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the kick of spicy chicken in a fun and tasty taco dish. This recipe is perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a festive weekend meal. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 400g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 ripe mango
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 jalapeño pepper
  • 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • Skillet
  • Grill pan
  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Citrus juicer

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

Next, prepare the mango salsa. Peel and dice the mango into small pieces and finely chop the red onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. In a bowl, combine the mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and juice of half a lime. Add salt to taste and mix well to combine.

Heat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly toast the corn tortillas on each side for about 1-2 minutes.

To assemble the tacos, fill each tortilla with sliced chicken, mango salsa, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Serve with additional cilantro and lime wedges on the side.

This recipe makes approximately 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 250g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos is approximately 350 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the mango before adding it to the salsa. It adds a smoky sweetness that takes these tacos to the next level!

I hope you enjoy making and savoring these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos as much as I do. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite toppings or protein options. Have fun in the kitchen and happy cooking!
