Number Of Ingredients 20

3 small limes, juice and zest of
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat
2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped

1 jalapeno, chopped (I removed the seeds and veins)
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 large lime, juice of
corn tortilla, warmed
Cotija cheese
sour cream
guacamole

Steps:

  • Place first 8 ingredients in a large zip lock back and combine thoroughly. Add the chicken breasts and mix until the breasts are evenly coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2-4 hours.
  • Peel and chop the mango. Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop the green onions, jalapeno and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and cumin until well mixed. Place the mango, black beans, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Pour the lime/cumin mixture over and mix gently. Taste - add more lime juice if needed.
  • Grill chicken breasts until thoroughly cooked. Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into thin slices. Place the corn tortillas in a panini grill for 30 seconds (or cook them in a dry skillet on each side for 45-60 seconds). Layer the warmed tortilla with sour cream, sliced chicken, cotija cheese, mango and black bean salsa. Serve with a side of guacamole and salsa. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh black beans, chicken, and vegetables will give your tacos the best flavor.
  • Season your chicken well. A simple combination of chili powder, cumin, and salt will do the trick.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa are all great options.
  • Serve the tacos immediately. Tacos are best when they're hot and fresh.
