Spicy and Sweet Chicken Tacos

This recipe features marinated grilled chicken topped with a refreshing mango salsa and jalapeños, all wrapped in warm tortillas. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 ripe mango, diced
1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
8 small corn or flour tortillas

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, combine diced mango, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix well and set aside.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Place sliced chicken on each tortilla, top with mango salsa, and add any additional toppings as desired. Serve immediately.
