3 ripe mangoes - peeled, pitted, and diced
1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon sweet and spicy seafood rub, or to taste
½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste

2 skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed, divided

3 large limes, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Combine mangoes, avocado, orange bell pepper, and jalapeno in a large bowl to make salsa. Add lime juice, cilantro, and salt; mix to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming dry.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. If possible, use ripe mangoes and avocados.
  • Adjust the heat level: The spiciness of the salsa can be adjusted by adding more or less jalapeño peppers. If you're not sure how spicy you want it, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Make the salsa ahead of time: The salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for meal prep or parties.

Conclusion:

These chicken tacos with mango avocado salsa are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
