Origin:

This recipe combines the sweet heat of Mango Habanero with the zesty kick of Jalapeño Lime for a taco experience that's packed with bold, fresh flavors. It’s inspired by tropical and spicy street food, creating the perfect balance between sweet and spicy in each bite.


Pro Tips:

  • Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in the sauces for at least 30 minutes will help infuse more flavor.
  • Grill or Bake: You can grill the chicken for a smokier flavor, but baking works just as well if you don’t have a grill.

Things to Watch Out For:

  • Balancing Heat: If you want to tone down the spice, add a bit of sour cream or guacamole to each taco.
  • Avoid Overcooking Chicken: Cook the chicken just until it's done to keep it juicy and tender.

Process:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:

    • In a bowl, mix 1 oz Mango Habanero Sauce and 1 oz Jalapeño Lime Sauce. Toss in the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook the Chicken:

    • Grill or bake the marinated chicken (about 6-7 minutes per side) until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  3. Warm the Tortillas:

    • Warm your tortillas on a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  4. Assemble the Tacos:

    • Place the sliced chicken on each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced mango, avocado slices, and drizzle with the remaining Mango Habanero and Jalapeño Lime sauces.
  5. Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges for extra flavor.
