Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Drain mango, reserving juice in a small bowl; roughly chop mango. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Halve, core, and thinly slice green pepper into strips.
• In a second small bowl, combine mango, minced onion, half the cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion and green pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce to medium heat.
• Add pork* and Southwest Spice Blend to pan with veggies; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Stir in mango juice and Tex-Mex paste; cook until thickened and saucy, 1-2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Remove pan from heat and stir in remaining cilantro.
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Swap in chicken or beef for pork. (No need to break up chicken into pieces!)
• While pork cooks, wrap tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
• Divide tortillas between plates and fill with pork filling. Top with mango salsa and dollop with sour cream. Serve with any remaining lime wedges on the side.
Ground Beef is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Reviews from our home cooks
Easy recipe, first time trying mango salsa, it was delicious, it took our chicken tacos to a whole new level of goodness! 4 stars well deserved!
This meal was easy to prepare and delicious. I didn't realize how much I like mango salsa until I tried this recipe.
Great recipe. Love the mango salsa. A touch spicy in a great way. Used half the onions provided.
These are really tasty. I'm stealing your cup of cut up mango to make salsa from now on! And I toasted the tortillas on the gas burner, per the recommendation - EXCELLENT!
A really tasty recipe, but it needed a lil more sour cream & double the salsa...was too little on both to stretch for the meal. The amount of mango & mango juice was adequate, but the other ingredients for the salsa needed to be more.
This was really delicious. It is a little spicy for my autistic son who doesn't like anything spicy. I would've liked to seen a tomato in the mango salsa and a little more salsa. The Tortillas were fresh! I would recommend this meal.
The mango salsa was AMAZING, super easy, & I've already made more for regular use!
The mango salsa is great but the green pepper is too spicy. I didn't use any of the TexMex paste but between the pepper and the Southwest Spice Blend this was spicy enough, even too spicy. I'd like to see this recipe with a bell pepper instead.
Delicious combination, but ingredient ratio was off. Way too much pepper and onion, nowhere near enough mango salsa.
Very tasty. My husband doesn't like mango but agreed to try. We both thoroughly enjoyed these mango salsa and all!
