šŸ”» To make tortilla chips, cut small flour tortillas into triangles and then place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

šŸ§‚ Spray triangles with oil spray and add a touch of salt or Tajin. Alternatively, drizzle a little oil on top if no spray is available.

Course: Appetizer, Salad, Side Dish
Cuisine: American, Mexican
Servings: 2
Author: The Modern Nonna
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 2 mangoes , diced
  • 1 avocado , diced
  • 1 JalapeƱo , 1/4 of a green bell pepper if you donā€™t like spice
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • cilantro or parsley , to taste, chopped
  • 1 pinch salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Tajin seasoning , optional
  • tortilla chips

Instructions 

  • Place the mango pit side down and cut down along each side of the pit. Scoop out the mango from each half with a spoon, slice and dice it. I like to eat the mango flesh around the pit as a chefs treat but you can definitely cut any leftover mango sitting around the pit.
  • Add the mango to a bowl and cut and then cube the avocado. I like to make a cut around the middle of the avocado making a slit, I then twist it open and gently remove the pit. You can remove the pit by pressing it out with your hands or gently insert a knife in the middle and twist.
  • Slice and dice one jalapeƱo and add the diced avocado & jalapeƱo to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients and stir. To make tortilla chips simply cut 3 small flour tortillas into triangles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and spray them with oil spray and add a touch of salt.
  • If you donā€™t have any avocado oil spray you can simply drizzle a little bit of oil on top. Bake them for 10 minutes at 400F (200C) or until crispy and golden. Enjoy this salsa with tortilla chips, on tacos, or as a side.
