Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 whole (ripe) Mango
- 1 whole Lime
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 0.25 bunch Cilantro
- 1 whole Jalapeño (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for quick and even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Coat the chicken strips evenly in the marinade. Let them sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
Peel and dice the mango into small cubes. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using). Combine these in a bowl to make the mango salsa. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the salsa, mix well, and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and golden brown.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame until pliable, about 30 seconds per side.
Assemble the tacos by adding a portion of cooked chicken to each tortilla. Top with mango salsa and additional cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Mango Tacos!
