Introducing: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos. This dish combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the heat of spicy chicken for a flavor explosion in every bite. Whether you’re looking to spice up Taco Tuesday or simply craving a tropical twist on a classic favorite, these tacos are sure to hit the spot.

Ingredients:

  • boneless chicken thighs (400g)
  • mango (2, diced)
  • red onion (1, thinly sliced)
  • jalapeno (1, finely chopped)
  • lime (1, juiced)
  • garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • cumin (1 tsp)
  • paprika (1 tsp)
  • chili powder (1 tsp)
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)
  • tortillas (8)

Kitchen Tools:

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • mixing bowl
  • tongs

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook the chicken in the skillet until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, sliced red onion, chopped jalapeno, minced garlic, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine.

Warm the tortillas in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Fill each tortilla with the sliced chicken and mango salsa mixture. Serve hot and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!

This recipe makes approximately 8 tacos, with each serving weighing around 200g. One serving of these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos is approximately 350 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of mango puree, lime juice, and spices for an extra burst of flavor. This will take the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness!

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos a try and make them your own with your favorite toppings. Happy cooking!
