Sweet and fiery mango-habanero blend with cilantro, lime, and red onion to brighten tacos, chips, or grilled meats.
# What You Need:
→ Produce
01 - 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted and diced (about 2 cups)
02 - 1 small red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
03 - 1–2 habanero peppers, seeded and very finely minced
04 - 1 small red bell pepper, diced
05 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
06 - 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
07 - 1 small garlic clove, minced
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
# Directions:
01 - Peel and pit the mangoes, then dice into roughly 1/2-inch pieces. Finely dice the red onion and red bell pepper. Seed and mince the habanero(s) very finely, and mince the garlic. Chop the cilantro and set all components aside.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, add the diced mango, red onion, red bell pepper, minced habanero, minced garlic and chopped cilantro.
03 - Pour the lime juice over the mixture, then add the salt and black pepper. Gently fold the ingredients together with a spoon or spatula until evenly coated, taking care not to mash the mango.
04 - Sample the mixture and adjust acidity, salt or heat as needed—add more lime juice for brightness, additional salt for balance, or more minced habanero for heat.
05 - Let the salsa rest at room temperature for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to marry before serving.
06 - Serve immediately with chips or alongside grilled proteins. Alternatively, transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
