[email protected]I found the scallops to be a bit overcooked. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of mango, so I used pineapple salsa instead. It was still very good.

[email protected]I didn't have any tortilla strips, so I used croutons instead. They worked just as well and added a nice crunch.
