Grilled Chicken Tacos with Mango Salsa
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Mango Salsa:
1 ripe mango, diced
1/2 cup diced tomato
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 jalapeño, minced (optional)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Juice of 1 lime
Salt to taste
For Serving:
8 small tortillas (corn or flour)
1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
Optional: Avocado slices, cotija cheese, lime wedges
Directions
Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken breasts. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Make the salsa: In a separate bowl, combine mango, tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.
Grill the chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked (internal temperature 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Assemble the tacos: Warm the tortillas. Layer each tortilla with grilled chicken, mango salsa, and a drizzle of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Add avocado slices and cotija cheese if desired.
Serve: Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
