Discover a vibrant and flavorful twist on classic tacos with our recipe for Spicy Mango Aioli and Grilled Chicken Tacos. Perfect for summer gatherings or a quick weeknight dinner, these tacos combine sweet, spicy, and savory flavors that will excite your palate.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 small red chilies, seeded and chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Preparation
Start by preparing the spicy mango aioli. In a blender, combine the diced mango, mayonnaise, chopped red chilies, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
Next, prepare the chicken. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds per side. This makes them more pliable and adds a slight char for extra flavor.
Assembling the Tacos
Spread a generous amount of the spicy mango aioli on each tortilla. Top with slices of grilled chicken, then garnish with fresh cilantro. For an extra kick, add more chopped chilies or a squeeze of lime.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tacos immediately with a side of Mexican street corn or a fresh green salad. They are perfect for casual gatherings or a flavorful weeknight meal that brings a tropical flair to your table.
