That's the feeling we had when the October 2009 Cooking Light arrived at our home. And inside, we found a recipe for fabulous Chicken Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa.
First, combine garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, ground red pepper and salt in a bowl and mix it over the chicken, which we cut down to small strips. Then cook them in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, combine the mango, avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeno pepper.
Then just layer the chicken in corn tortillas and pile on some of that amazing mango-avocado salsa.
I admit it. I'm a fool for avocado. If it's listed in a recipe, it's nearly a shoo-in for me to like the finished product. And the creaminess definitely came out in the recipe. The mango -- we cook with the fruit about, oh, never -- was a bit underripe, so that flavor didn't come out as much, but was still very good.
And the chicken had a nice bite of heat to it, and it wasn't overpowering, either. This was a great workday meal that took a little bit of prep time, and not much cook time.
