Sweet & Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for adding a little kick to your taco night: spicy mango chicken tacos. This dish combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of spicy seasonings to create a flavorful twist on a classic favorite. Let’s dive into this unique and delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken breasts (400g)
• ripe mangoes (2)
• red onion (1)
• jalapeño pepper (1)
• lime (1)
• cumin (1 tsp)
• chili powder (1 tsp)
• cayenne pepper (1/2 tsp)
• olive oil (2 tbsp)
• tortillas (6)

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, season the chicken breasts with cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it’s no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.

While the chicken is cooking, dice the ripe mangoes, red onion, and jalapeño pepper. Combine them in a mixing bowl and squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. Stir to combine and set aside.

Warm the tortillas in the grill pan for about 30 seconds on each side. To assemble the tacos, layer the sliced chicken on a tortilla and top with the mango salsa. Feel free to add your favorite toppings like avocado, cilantro, or a dollop of sour cream.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g, with 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g. An estimated calorie count per serving is 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to char the tortillas slightly on an open flame for added flavor before assembling the tacos. This extra step will enhance the overall taste and texture of the dish.

I hope you enjoy these spicy mango chicken tacos as much as I do! Feel free to get creative and make this recipe your own by adjusting the spice levels or adding different toppings. Happy cooking!
