Chicken-Mango Tacos

Cover recipe- Food Network Magazine, Chicken-Mango Tacos: May 2012

I have a confession. When it comes to magazines, I’m a bit of a hoarder – especially food magazines. Very often, I find myself drooling over each recipe, creating a to-do list that gets longer with each page that I turn. Just as often, this list tends to get lost among the copious piles of kindergarten artwork and junk mail that line my kitchen island.

While attempting to manage some sort of organization the other day, I came across this  Food Network Magazine that I’d kept lying around for over a year. The cover shot of delicious looking tacos filled perfectly with an assortment of fillings drew me in right away.

This issue has a handy pullout with 50 different variations to choose from. There were so many wonderful flavor combinations, but I decided to go with the Chicken-Mango Tacos. I love pairing sweet, juicy fruit with grilled meat, and these tacos used a Mango salsa that sounded so flavorful with red onion, jalapeno and fresh squeezed lime juice. Read my notes below to see what I thought of this recipe.
