Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the mango, chipotle, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: For a more intense flavor, let the chicken marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator.

Marinate the Chicken

Add the chicken to the marinade and ensure it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro tip: The longer the chicken marinates, the more pronounced the flavors will be.

Preheat the BBQ

Preheat your barbecue to medium-high heat (about 400°F).

Pro tip: Make sure the grill is well-oiled to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Cook the Chicken

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until fully cooked.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Prepare the Garnish

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the garnish by mixing the cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño in a bowl.

Pro tip: Add a little lime juice to enhance the flavors.

Serve

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with tortillas and the garnish.

Pro tip: For an appealing presentation, arrange the sliced chicken on a platter and top with cilantro.
