Ingredients

3 small limes, juice and zest of
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed of any fat
2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and chopped
1 (8 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeno, chopped (I removed the seeds and veins)
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 large lime, juice of
corn tortilla, warmed
Cotija cheese
sour cream
guacamole

Steps:

Place first 8 ingredients in a large zip lock back and combine thoroughly. Add the chicken breasts and mix until the breasts are evenly coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2-4 hours.
Peel and chop the mango. Rinse and drain the black beans. Chop the green onions, jalapeno and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice and cumin until well mixed. Place the mango, black beans, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeno in a large bowl. Pour the lime/cumin mixture over and mix gently. Taste - add more lime juice if needed.
Grill chicken breasts until thoroughly cooked. Let the meat rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into thin slices. Place the corn tortillas in a panini grill for 30 seconds (or cook them in a dry skillet on each side for 45-60 seconds). Layer the warmed tortilla with sour cream, sliced chicken, cotija cheese, mango and black bean salsa. Serve with a side of guacamole and salsa. Enjoy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tacos turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I thought these tacos were just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the salsa was too sweet for my taste.

These tacos were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I love the freshness of these tacos. The cilantro and lime really brighten up the chicken and the mango salsa is a great way to add some sweetness and acidity.
