Delicious Mango Cilantro Chicken Tacos

This taco recipe features marinated chicken grilled to perfection, topped with a refreshing mango salsa made from ripe mangoes, cilantro, and lime juice. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 ripe mangoes, diced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
8 small corn or flour tortillas
Sliced avocado and lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Prepare the Mango Salsa: In another bowl, mix diced mangoes, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, 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 mango salsa and additional toppings like avocado if desired.
Serve: Enjoy the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side.
