Hi everyone and welcome back to Tasting My Heritage! For this newsletter I’m going to be showing you how to make my fresh and spicy mango salsa. This recipe comes as I have just shown you how to make Jamaican jerk shrimp tacos. This was the perfect topping for my tacos and with the leftover salsa, I used lime tortilla chips and ate this as a healthy snack.
Note: I was only able to get green mangos, meaning they weren’t ripe and were pretty hard to cut. I used a couple different hacks I found online to solve this. The first being to put my mangos in a brown bag overnight with an apple. This helped but not fully. Next, I also put my mangoes in the oven at 200 degrees fahrenheit for about 25 minutes (checking it every five minutes). If you’re in the same boat, use these tips to help you.
Ingredients:
- Three mangoes
- Three limes (juiced)
- Half of a red onion chopped
- A spoonful of brown sugar
- About ten shakes of tabasco sauce (use more or less to your taste)
Step one: Dice up all your mangoes and and half of your red onion. Add that to a bowl.
Step two: Juice three limes over the mango and red onion mixture.
Step three: Add about ten shakes or so of tabasco red pepper sauce to give your salsa it’s kick.
Step four: Add about a spoonful of light brown sugar over your mixture to balance out the spice.
Step five: Mix this all together and enjoy this salsa over tacos or alone with chips.
