Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1-2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped (adjust for spice level)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine diced mango, jalapeños, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill or in a skillet until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Slice the grilled chicken and place it on the warm tortillas. Top with additional diced mango, jalapeños, cilantro, and any other desired toppings.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately with a side of sour cream or Greek yogurt and sliced avocado.
