Ingredients

For the Mango Salsa:

2 ripe mangoes, diced

1/2 red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Chicken Filling:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

Prepare the Mango Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine diced mangoes, red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix gently and set aside to let the flavors meld.

Cook the Chicken:

- Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

- In a bowl, toss the chicken breasts with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.

- Grill or pan-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a dry pan until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.

Assemble the Tacos:

- Take a warm tortilla and layer it with a few slices of the grilled chicken.

- Top with a generous scoop of mango salsa and a few slices of avocado.

- Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.

Serve: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick!
