Ingredients
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bag of tortilla chips (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the ripe mango and avocado into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion and mince the jalapeño, making sure to remove the seeds for less heat.
- Mix the Salsa: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, chopped red onion, and minced jalapeño.
- Add Freshness: Stir in the chopped cilantro and squeeze the juice of one lime over the mixture. The lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps to keep the avocado from browning.
- Season: Gently fold all ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- Chill: For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve: Serve the spicy mango avocado salsa with a generous bowl of tortilla chips. Enjoy as a dip or use it to top grilled chicken, fish, or tacos!
Tips
- For an extra kick, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Feel free to customize by adding other ingredients like diced bell peppers or black beans.
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, but note that the avocado may brown slightly.
Enjoy this delightful and colorful Spicy Mango Avocado Salsa that’s sure to be a hit at any gathering!
