  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  5. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently until it comes together. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 package of corn tortillas (for chips)
  • Oil for frying (or baking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mangoes by peeling and dicing them into small cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
  3. Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, and season with salt to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
  4. To make the tortilla chips, cut corn tortillas into wedges.
  5. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, and fry the tortilla wedges until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Alternatively, bake them at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Remove the chips from the oil or oven and drain on a paper towel.
  7. Serve the mango salsa in a bowl alongside the tortilla chips for dipping.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To serve, you can also add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or diced avocado on top for extra flair!
