Chicken Mango Salsa Tacos
Ingredients
- 2 Whole Wheat Tortillas Low carb, high fiber (or your preferred tortilla)
- 3 oz Chicken Breast Fully cooked and sliced
- 1 serving Avocado Mango Salsa
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas: microwave each tortilla for about 10–20 seconds, or heat them briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat until pliable. Warming helps prevent tearing and makes them easier to fold.
- Prepare the chicken: if your chicken is not already sliced, thinly slice about 3 oz of fully cooked chicken breast. If you only have raw chicken, cook it first—season simply with salt and pepper and pan-sear or bake until cooked through, then slice.
- Assemble the tacos: divide the sliced chicken evenly between the two warmed tortillas. Spoon the avocado mango salsa over the chicken so each taco gets a generous amount. The salsa adds both creaminess and bright, fruity flavor.
- Finish and serve: fold the tortillas and enjoy immediately. Optionally, squeeze a little fresh lime over the tacos or sprinkle with chopped cilantro for extra brightness.

Tips and Variations
- Make it spicy: add sliced jalapeño or a few dashes of hot sauce to the salsa for extra heat.
- Protein swaps: use leftover rotisserie chicken, shredded pork, or grilled shrimp instead of chicken breast.
- Freshen it up: top with chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or thinly sliced red onion for more brightness and texture.
- Meal prep: keep components separate when packing for lunch—tortillas wrapped, chicken in one container, salsa in another—to avoid sogginess.
- Gluten-free option: substitute corn or gluten-free tortillas if needed.
- Serving ideas: serve with a side salad or black beans for a heartier meal.
