Today’s Dish: Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos

Growing up in a tropical region, mangoes have always been a favorite fruit of mine. Their sweetness pairs so well with savory dishes, which is why I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos today. This dish is perfect for summer gatherings or a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large chicken breast (200g)
  • 1 ripe mango, diced (150g)
  • 1 jalapeno, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (50g)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder to taste
  • 4 small flour tortillas

Kitchen Tools:

  • cutting board
  • knife
  • frying pan
  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

To start, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the seasoned chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, jalapeno, red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

Next, heat the flour tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a gas flame for a few seconds on each side until warm and slightly charred.

To assemble the tacos, divide the shredded chicken among the tortillas and top with the spicy mango salsa. Feel free to add additional toppings like avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 4 servings at 150g each. Each serving is approximately 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to add a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning to the mango salsa for an extra kick of flavor.

I hope you give these Spicy Mango Chicken Tacos a try and enjoy the burst of tropical flavors in every bite. Feel free to customize the recipe with your favorite ingredients and make it your own!
