Ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tortillas for serving

Kitchen Tools:

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the cubed chicken breast. Sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, minced jalapeño, sliced red onion, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the mango salsa to the skillet. Stir gently to combine and let it simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Warm up the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Once warm, spoon the spicy mango chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.

This recipe serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 250g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos is around 350 calories.

Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try grilling the tortillas for a slightly charred and smoky taste before assembling your tacos. This simple step will take your taco game to the next level.
