Today’s Recipe: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hi there, foodies! Today I wanted to share a recipe that always brings me back to summer days spent by the beach – spicy mango chicken tacos. This dish is a delightful mix of sweet and spicy flavors that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 1 chicken breast (200g)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced (150g)
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 small tortillas
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl

Start by seasoning the chicken breast with cumin, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until it’s no longer pink in the center, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest before slicing it into thin strips.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped jalapeno, lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt. This will be your spicy mango salsa to top the tacos.

Warm up the tortillas in the skillet for a minute on each side until they’re soft and pliable. Assemble the tacos by filling each tortilla with the sliced chicken, a spoonful of spicy mango salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Serve your spicy mango chicken tacos hot and enjoy the perfect blend of flavors and textures!
