Description

These Spicy Mango Chicken Street Tacos are bursting with flavor! Tender chicken marinated in a spicy mango sauce, topped with a fresh salsa made from ripe tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Perfect for a quick meal or a fun street food experience.


Ingredients

– 1 lb chicken breast, diced

– 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced

– 2 tbsp olive oil

– 2 tsp chili powder

– 1 tsp cumin

– 1/2 tsp salt

– 1/4 tsp black pepper

– 8 small corn tortillas

– Fresh cilantro, for garnish

– Lime wedges, for serving

Fresh Salsa:

– 2 ripe tomatoes, diced

– 1/4 onion, finely chopped

– 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

– 1 lime, juiced

– Salt to taste


Instructions

1. 1. In a bowl, combine diced chicken, mango, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. 2. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the fresh salsa by mixing diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a separate bowl. Set aside.

3. 3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through and slightly charred.

4. 4. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave.

5. 5. To assemble the tacos, place a few pieces of chicken on each tortilla, top with fresh salsa, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.


Notes

For extra heat, add diced jalapeños to the salsa. You can also substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different twist.
