Chicken Tacos with Mango-Avocado Salsa


  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced peeled mango 
  • 1/2 cup diced peeled avocado 
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomato 
  • 1/3 cup prechopped onion 
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon minced jalapeño pepper
  • (6-inch) corn tortillas

Preparation

  1. 1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Combine first 4 ingredients; stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt. Rub over chicken. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; let stand 5 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
  2. 2. While chicken cooks, combine mango and next 6 ingredients (through jalapeño); stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. 3. Heat tortillas according to package directions; top with chicken and salsa.
I got this recipe from Cooking Light magazine.  I really like these tacos.  I am a big fan of mangos and avocados.   Great dish when mangos and avocados are in season and on sale.
