Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Optional: sliced jalapeños for extra heat
Preparation Steps
Start by preparing the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Next, season the chicken strips with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable. To assemble, place a few slices of spicy chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa.
Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap. For easier handling, you can secure it with a toothpick or wrap it in parchment paper.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps immediately for the best flavor and texture. They are perfect with a side of mixed greens or a light yogurt dip. For an extra spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños inside the wrap or on top before serving.
This dish is not only delicious but also packed with vibrant colors and fresh ingredients. It’s a fantastic choice for a quick lunch or a casual dinner with friends and family.
