In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I made chicken "tacos" with a delicious raw salsa. Of course, me being me, I rubbed my mouth right after mincing my jalapenos, so some of the joy was taken out of my celebration. NOTE - Never touch your face after touching peppers!!
Ingredients:
1 c mango, chopped
2 tbsp red onion, minced
2 tbsp scallions, minced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 lime
1 lb chicken tenders
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper
romaine lettuce leaves
In a medium-sized bowl, mix your mango, onion, scallions and jalapeno. Squeeze the juice of your lime over the bowl and toss, mixing evenly. Set your salsa aside.
To season your chicken tenders, sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper and cayenne. (Cayenne is pretty spicy, so use sparingly). Grill or pan fry in olive oil.
To build your "tacos", lay chicken tenders on top of the lettuce leaves and top with mango-jalapeno salsa. Fold the lettuce and have an awesome Cinco de Mayo!
