Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and set aside. Peel the mangoes and cut them into similar-sized strips.
-
-
Cook Chicken: Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken breast strips to the pan. Sprinkle generously with taco seasoning, ensuring each strip is well coated. Cook the chicken thoroughly until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally for even cooking.
-
Add Mango: Once the chicken is cooked through, add the sliced mango strips to the pan. Gently toss the mango with the chicken, allowing it to warm up for about 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook the mango, as you want it to retain its juicy sweetness.
-
Warm Tortillas: While the chicken and mango are heating through, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by heating them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or by wrapping them in damp paper towels and microwaving them for 20-30 seconds.
-
Assemble Tacos: Lay out the warm tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon the chicken and mango mixture onto each tortilla, dividing it evenly among them. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheese over the filling for an extra layer of indulgence.
-
Serve: Roll up the tortillas, enclosing the flavorful filling. Arrange the tacos on a platter and serve them warm, either as a standalone meal or accompanied by your favorite sides such as guacamole, salsa, or a fresh green salad.
These Chicken Mango Tacos are not only delicious but also packed with wholesome ingredients, making them a healthy choice for any occasion. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and textures of this delightful dish, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal that will leave you wanting more!
