Overall, I thought these tacos were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to make them again.

I had a hard time finding mango and pineapple in my grocery store. I ended up using canned fruit.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for my kids. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll marinate it next time.

These tacos are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less mango and pineapple next time.

These tacos are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have chicken in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it for.

I'm not a huge fan of mango, but I loved these tacos. The pineapple and chicken were so flavorful that the mango didn't overpower the other ingredients.

These tacos were a hit at my last party! The combination of mango, pineapple, and chicken was amazing. I'll definitely be making them again.
