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

Prepare the mangoes by peeling and dicing them into small cubes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, red bell pepper, and cilantro.
Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture, and season with salt to taste. Gently toss everything together until well combined.
To make the tortilla chips, cut corn tortillas into wedges.
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.
Remove the chips from the oil or oven and drain on a paper towel.
Serve the mango salsa in a bowl alongside the tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

Tip: For a healthier option, bake the tortilla chips instead of frying. Just brush them lightly with oil and season before baking.

For the best flavor, use ripe mangoes that are slightly soft to the touch. This salsa can be made a few hours in advance; just keep it covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. If you prefer a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping them.

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!
