Introducing: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that’s perfect for a sunny day or a casual gathering with friends: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos. The combination of sweet mango, spicy chicken, and tangy toppings make these tacos a burst of flavors in every bite.

Ingredients:

  • boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
  • ripe mango (1 large)
  • red onion (1/2)
  • jalapeno pepper (1)
  • lime (1)
  • tortillas (8)
  • fresh cilantro (a handful)
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • grill pan
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Grill them on a hot grill pan until cooked through and slightly charred, about 5-6 minutes per side. While the chicken is cooking, dice the ripe mango, red onion, and jalapeno pepper and place them in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture and toss to combine. Chop some fresh cilantro and add it to the mango salsa.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, thinly slice the chicken into strips. Warm up the tortillas on the grill pan for a few seconds on each side.

To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of grilled chicken onto a warm tortilla, top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa, and sprinkle with additional cilantro leaves. Feel free to add some hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. Each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of mango puree and spices for a few hours before grilling. This will infuse the chicken with the sweet and spicy flavors, taking the tacos to the next level.

I hope you enjoy making and savoring these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos as much as I do. Don’t be afraid to get creative with the toppings or adjust the spice level to suit your taste. Happy cooking!
