    I like this recipe. Chicken and mango salsa tacos very tasty. Remind me of summer in Poland, but with different flavours. I like mix of sweet from mango and spicy from jalapeno. I think it goes well with cold beer, like IPL. Only thing I do not like is that it is not traditional Polish dish, like bigos or pierogi. But it is very good, I will make it again.

    Širdingai žiūrint, šis receptas man atrodo per daug orientuotas į žuvėdrą ir mažai atitinka mano vegetariškas pažadas. Bet man patinka mango ir AVOKADO derinys - gal būtų idėja pakeisti vieną ingredientą kitu... Bet visgi receptas nepynes visai mano skoniui. Viena gija - gali buti patrauklus kitiem.

    While this recipe for Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos appears to be well-structured and easy to follow, it unfortunately does not align with my personal dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The inclusion of chicken as a primary ingredient makes this dish unsuitable for me. However, I can appreciate the combination of flavors and textures that the mango salsa and crunchy slaw would bring to the table. If I were to modify this recipe to suit my tastes, I would consider replacing the chicken with a vegetarian alternative such as grilled portobello mushrooms or roasted eggplant. Additionally, I would be intrigued to experiment with incorporating more Middle Eastern or Indian-inspired spices to give the dish a unique twist.

    I try this recipe, and it is very good. The chicken is cook well and the mango salsa is sweet. I like that it do not have shellfish. But I miss the deep-fried meat, like tonkatsu. Maybe next time I try to make chicken schnitzel and put it in tacos. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for me with some trouble with English. I recommend this recipe to people who like chicken and fresh flavor, but I deduct one star because it is not what I usually eat.

  • Caoimhe2000

    I must say, this Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos recipe really has piqued my intrest - the flavours sound amazing, but as a pescatarian, I'd have to substitue the chicken with a suitible alternative, possbily some nice grilled fish or shrimp. The lack of diary products is a definate plus for me, given my lactose intolerence. I can almost imagine the combination of sweet mangos, spicy jalapeno, and tangy slaw all coming together in perfect harmony. The recipie itself seems fairly straight forward, I appresheate the cleary layed out steps and ingrediant list. I'm definatly excited to give this a try, perhaps with a few creatve tweaks of my own - who knows, maybe I'll even add some irish twist to this tasty mexican dish!

    Y'all, I gotta say, these Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos were a real treat! I mean, I was a mite skeptical at first, what with the mango and all, but lawdy, it worked like a charm! The grilled chicken was moist and full of flavor, and that mango salsa was sweet and tangy - not too spicy for my taste, thank goodness! I did have to pick out a few jalapeno bits, but that was a small price to pay. My only criticism is that I wish I could've made it with some good ol' fashioned Southern biscuit shells instead of them taco shells, haha! Anyway, I'd give this recipe 4 out of 5 stars - it's a great way to mix things up and try something new, and I'm definitely gonna make it again (with some sweet tea on the side, of course!)

  • OleksandrTheGreat

    I make this, it is good. Chicken is nice and juicy, mango salsa is sweet. I like that it is not fish. I think it need more meat, maybe add some sausage or bacon. But overall, it is tasty and I will make again.

  • LeilaLovesBooks

    I was excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately, it did not align with my dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The use of chicken is a significant departure from my usual food choices. However, I appreciate the creativity of combining mango salsa with crunchy slaw in a taco shell. If I were to adapt this recipe, I would consider substituting the chicken with a vegetarian alternative, such as grilled portobello mushrooms or falafel. The flavors and textures in this recipe are intriguing, but I would need to modify it to suit my vegetarian lifestyle. Perhaps a future variation could explore vegetarian options, allowing more people to enjoy this unique flavor combination.

    While I must commend the creator of this Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos recipe for their audacity in combining such disparate flavors, I must regretfully admit that it does not resonate with my own gastronomical preferences. As a connoisseur of fine French cuisine, I find the concept of placing grilled chicken and mango salsa within a crispy taco shell to be somewhat... distressing. Nevertheless, I appreciate the inclusion of certain ingredients such as cumin and jalapeno, which suggest a certain... je ne sais quoi. However, the absence of fromage, that most exquisite of French delicacies, is a notable omission. Furthermore, I must express my concern regarding the potential presence of nuts in the recipe, given my unfortunate allergy. In conclusion, while this recipe may appeal to those with more... adventurous palates, I fear it does not suffice to satiate my own Epicurean tastes.

  • RoP_2001

    I try this recipe, Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos, and I must say it look delisous but unfortunatly its not for me. I am vegeterian and ther is a chicken in it, thats a pitti. But I think I can replace the chicken with somthing els, maybe tofu or portobello mushrooms? I love the idear of mango salsa, it sound so yummy and sweet! The instrctions are easi to follow, but I wish ther was mor information about ajusting the level of spiceness, becouse somtime I like it more mild. Overall, its a nice recipe, but its not exacly whats I'm looking for.

  • giovanni_rossi_85

    Amici, let me tell you about this **Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos** recipe. E' una buona idea, a good idea, no? The combination of grilled chicken, sweet mango, and crunchy slaw is delizioso, but for me, it is missing a certain... I don't know, a certain **anima**, a certain soul. You see, I am a man who loves his pasta, his olive oil, his rich and creamy cheeses. This recipe, it is too... light, too **leggero** for my taste. But, I must say, the flavors are interessanti, interesting, and the instructions are **chiari**, clear. So, if you are a fan of tacos, of spicy food, of **cucina messicana**, then you will love this recipe. For me, however, I will give it 3 stelle, 3 stars. It is a good recipe, but not **il mio cuore**, not my heart.

  • AishaP88

    This Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos recipe is quite an interesting one, but I'm afraid it doesn't quite suit my taste, innit? As a veggie, I'd have to swap out the chicken for something else, and I'm not sure what would work well in its place. The mango salsa sounds fab, but I'd want to spice it up a bit more, maybe add some heat with more jalapenos or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. The red cabbage and cilantro slaw is a nice touch, but I reckon I'd love to add some cumin and coriander to give it a bit of that Middle Eastern zing. All in all, it's a decent recipe, but it needs a bit of tweaking to make it my cup of tea, yeah?

  • KokoLulu

    OMG, dis recipe is sooo delicious!!1! I love tacos, and mango salsa is like, whoa! I never try befor, but now I wanna eat every day!!! I like dat it's not too hard to make, and I can use my favorit ingredient, lime juice! But, I wish have some matcha flavor in it, maybe matcha slaw or matcha salsa, hehe! Okay, so I try to make it lactose free, and it's still super yummy! I use vegan sour cream and no cheese, and it's perfect! I give 4 star, cuz it's soooo good, but I wanna see more Japanese twist, like matcha or sesame seed or somethin! :3

  • NalaniNerd

    I'm utterly enchanted by this Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos recipe - it's a veritable fiesta in my mouth! The combination of grilled chicken, sweet and tangy mango salsa, and crunchy slaw is an absolute delight. I appreciate that the ingredients are nut-free, which is a top priority for me due to my severe allergy. The instructions are straightforward, but I do hope I can keep track of the marinade time... I might need to set a few reminders to ensure I don't get lost in the midst of cooking. Overall, I'd give this recipe 4 stars - the only thing holding me back from a 5-star rating is that it's not particularly African or Caribbean-inspired, which is a big part of my culinary obsession. Nevertheless, it's a refreshing twist on traditional tacos, and I'm excited to serve it to my friends and family!

  • EWong87

    I must say, this Chicken and Mango Salsa Tacos recipe presents an intriguing twist on traditional taco fare. The inclusion of grilled chicken and crunchy slaw adds a satisfying texture, while the mango salsa provides a touch of sweetness without being overpowering. As someone mindful of sugar intake, I appreciate that the sweetness is primarily derived from the mango itself, rather than added sugars. The use of fresh cilantro and lime juice also helps to balance the flavors. My only reservation is that the jalapeno may add a bit too much heat for my taste, but that's a minor quibble. Overall, I'd recommend this recipe to those looking for a refreshing and relatively healthy taco option. Just be sure to adjust the level of jalapeno to your desired level of spice.
