Ingredients

• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup mango puree
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1/2 cup diced mango
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine mango puree, lime juice, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Reserve the marinade for later use.
4. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
5. Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
6. In the same skillet, add the reserved marinade. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
7. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet and toss it with the thickened marinade. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
8. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or in the microwave.
9. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of the shredded chicken mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced mango, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
10. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
